Rangers vs Tottenham Europa League score predicted as pressure mounts on Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham will be looking to avoid a fifth game without a win when they take on Rangers in the Europa League later today.

Since their 4-0 win over Manchester City at the end of November, Spurs have struggled across all competitions, with the Lilywhites failing to win any of their last four games, most recently losing 4-3 to Chelsea in the Premier League. In fact, Ange Postecoglou's side have won just one of their last seven games across all competitions, with Spurs 11th in the Premier League and ninth in the Europa League.

Attention turns back to the Europa League later today for the Lilywhites as they travel to Scotland to take on Rangers. Both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were taken off with injuries after seemingly being rushed back for the clash with Chelsea on the weekend, meaning the duo will be unavailable later today.

We simulated Rangers vs Spurs to get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the hosts could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Butland; Tavernier, Souttar, Propper, Jefte; Barron, Raskin; Cerny, Diomande, Bajrami; Dessers.

We predict that Spurs could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie; Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Werner.

Spurs were far from convincing in the opening stages at Ibrox, with Cyriel Dessers forcing Fraser Forster into making one of the saves of the season just a few minutes in. The early chance gave Rangers the confidence boost they needed though, and with their tails up, they managed to find the lead.

A high press from the hosts forced Archie Gray into misplacing a pass while Spurs played out the back, with Connor Barron playing the ball forward for Dessers to chase. The striker got the better of Radu Dragusin before breaking into the box, cutting onto his left foot, and curling the ball into the top corner of the net, putting the hosts 1-0 up in the opening 10 minutes.

After going behind, Spurs responded well, and they should've equalised when Timo Werner smartly beat his man before going one-on-one with Jack Butland, but the winger's strike was poor, allowing the 'keeper to make a simple save. As the game approached half-time, Spurs were in full control, and like the Rangers goal, an error at the back allowed Postecoglou's side to draw level.

A short goal kick saw Barron receive the ball on the edge of his own box, but James Maddison gave the midfielder no time, winning back possession in a dangerous area of the pitch. Maddison found Werner who drifted into the middle of the pitch, and an emphatic finish saw the German rifle an effort into the top corner to level the score before the break.

Unfortunately, the energetic first half didn't continue after the restart, with both sides struggling to create any clear-cut chances. The game ended all square in Scotland, extending Spurs' winless run to five games.
