Motherwell vs Rangers
Rangers Look to Extend Unbeaten Run in Premiership Clash at Motherwell
GLASGOW, Scotland (Interstat) — Rangers will aim to continue their dominant league form when they visit Motherwell in a Scottish Premiership match on Wednesday.
The Glasgow giants enter the fixture at Fir Park Stadium on a six-match unbeaten streak in league play, having outscored opponents 13-2 during that run. Their most recent result was a commanding 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock on Feb. 4.
Rangers (16-4-3) sit near the top of the table and have been particularly formidable since the turn of the year. Their attack has produced three or more goals in four of their last five Premiership contests.
Motherwell (9-8-6), however, has proven a stubborn opponent recently. The Steelmen are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 win at Livingston on Jan. 31. Their defense has recorded three clean sheets in that span.
The head-to-head history favors Rangers, but narrowly. In their two meetings this season, Rangers earned a 1-0 home win on Dec. 27, while the teams played to a 1-1 draw at Fir Park last August.
Motherwell manager will likely point to that home draw as evidence his side can compete. His team’s recent victories over Celtic and a four-goal rout of Kilmarnock in January demonstrate a capacity for upset.
Rangers will be heavily favored, bolstered by a deep squad and the league’s most potent attack. Their focus will be securing three points to maintain pressure at the summit before a pivotal Old Firm derby against Celtic looms on March 1.
For Motherwell, a positive result could solidify their position in the top half of the table as they seek a potential European qualification spot.
The Interstat game simulator projects a 3-1 victory for the visitors.
Following this match, Rangers will host Heart of Midlothian on Feb. 15. Motherwell is set to welcome Aberdeen on the same day.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. local time at Fir Park in Motherwell, Scotland.
