Scottish Champions Rangers welcome top La Liga side Sevilla to Ibrox in what should prove to be a very interesting Group G game & certainly one that is important to both sides.

Rangers started their Group G campaign with an excellent result & performance to get a 1-1 draw away at Stuttgart, so they will be looking to build on that here.

Rangers manager Walter Smith knows that home games are the key in the Champions League & he will want the Rangers players give their all in this game as 3 points against group favourites Sevilla would be a massive result & give them a major chance of qualifying.

Rangers are strong at home & will certainly set out to be compact & solid against a very talented Sevilla side but clearly they come into this game with a few issues in terms of form & confidence given they have had 3 consecutive 0-0 draws in the League.

That failure to either score or win what were expected to be comfortable victories must have had a big impact on the confidence & belief of the Rangers squad, so they will have to turn around to have a chance against Sevilla.

Sevilla are an excellent side full of top quality players & they will come to Ibrox with belief & confidence they can get the win.

Sevilla have had an excellent start to their season & are in winning form now having won their last 3 league games scoring 8 goals & conceding 0 including a very impressive 4-0 away win on Saturday.

The key strength of Sevilla is the depth in quality they have & particularly in attacking areas with the likes of Kanoute, Negredo, Renato, Capel & Fabiano all more than capable of winning a game on their own. That combination of players will present a major threat to Rangers.

The atmosphere at Ibrox will be fantastic as it always is for these big European nights & that will inspire Rangers to play better than they have been doing in the SPL, but we have respect for the quality of Sevilla & feel they are a cracking bet to get the away win here.
