- FC Porto are unbeaten in their last 5 matches in all competitions, winning 4 and drawing 1.
- Glasgow Rangers FC are on a 5 game winning streak in all competitions.
Porto to prove too powerful for Rangers
FC Porto will welcome Glasgow Rangers FC to the Estádio do Dragão in Thursday’s UEFA Europa League 2025-2026 Group Stage encounter as two of the most decorated clubs in European football look to secure a crucial 3 points to further their respective interests in the group.
The Dragons have already claimed all three of their home fixtures this season, conceding just 2 goals and scoring 7 at the other end. They also arrive into Thursday’s game after a run of 5 matches unbeaten in all competitions, with a 1-1 draw at Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League and a 3-0 win over Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga being their last 2 results.
Rangers, meanwhile, have had a huge resurgence in recent months since Danny Röhl took the helm at Ibrox in October 2025. His team’s adaptability, tenacity and high-intensity playing style has produced a run of 5 straight wins which has seen them thrash Annan Athletic 5-0 in the Scottish FA Cup, edge Ludogorets 1-0 in the Europa League and dispatch Dundee FC 3-0 in the Premiership.
Stick with the hosts to secure the win
Porto are the overwhelming favourites with the bookies here at 1/4, but that’s understandable considering Rangers are priced as clear outsiders. The Gers have certainly injected some intrigue into this game with their recent run of results, but Porto’s home form in Europe this season combined with Rangers’ poor away record in the Europa League should see the Dragons take all 3 points at the Estádio do Dragão.
