Rangers vs Motherwell Prediction: Rangers will remain unstoppable

Rangers are set to host Motherwell at Ibrox for a Scottish Premiership round 29 fixture on Saturday. Both teams enter this match with victories in their recent midweek matchups. Below is a comprehensive match preview, including potential betting opportunities.

Rangers will be aiming to replicate their recent success, having secured a 1-2 victory in the Premiership against Kilmarnock. During that match, Rangers maintained 56% possession and made 14 attempts at goal, with 5 on target. James Tavernier (55') and Tom Lawrence (59') were the goal-scorers for Rangers, while Daniel Armstrong (11') found the net for Kilmarnock. Notably, Rangers have exhibited defensive resilience in their recent performances, conceding only 2 goals in their last 6 games. Looking ahead, the statistics indicate that Rangers have not lost a league match against Motherwell in their last 57 encounters and are unbeaten in their last 10 league home matches.

Motherwell enters the upcoming clash on the back of a 1-3 Premiership victory against Livingston in their recent outing. During that match, Motherwell maintained 60% possession and registered 15 shots at goal, with 5 on target. Sam Nicholson (49'), Blair Spittal (71'), and Jack Vale (87') were the goal-scorers for Motherwell, while Tete Yengi (3') found the net for Livingston. Analyzing recent statistics, Motherwell has conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents scoring a total of 11 goals. Notably, Motherwell has not secured a victory against Rangers in their last 38 away league encounters.

This upcoming fixture marks the 90th encounter between the two teams, with Rangers currently leading 63-7. In their most recent meeting in December, Rangers secured a 2-0 away victory. Rangers are currently enjoying a remarkable 10-game winning streak across various competitions. Notably, nine out of Motherwell's last 11 games across competitions have witnessed goals from both sides, while the same statistic holds true for Rangers' last 11 games. Rangers boast the best home record in the league, having accumulated 36 points from 14 home games.

Rangers are well aware of the task at hand, requiring effectiveness at both ends of the field. Nevertheless, Motherwell is unlikely to make it easy for them, given their own aspirations for potential Championship group qualification. Expecting a competitive match, my prediction is a victory for Rangers with both teams scoring.
