But under new boss <strong>Russell Martin<\/strong>, they remain unbeaten (W2, D3) and will feel confident about advancing. While their away form has been stubborn rather than spectacular\u2014<strong>five draws in their last six competitive trips<\/strong>\u2014the Scottish giants have the momentum firmly in their favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head and Key Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first-leg meeting was the first-ever clash between the two sides.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rangers are unbeaten in four games against Czech clubs (W3, D1).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plze\u0148 have conceded exactly once in <strong>seven of their last eight matches<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>16 of the Rangers\u2019 last 17 away games<\/strong> saw both teams score.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rangers have found the net after half-time in <strong>all three UCL qualifiers<\/strong> this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM-683x1024.png\" alt=\"Plze\u0148 vs Rangers UCL Qualifiers Prediction: Who Advances?\" class=\"wp-image-11566\" style=\"width:967px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM-150x225.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM-300x450.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM-696x1044.png 696w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-04_29_52-PM.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players to Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rafiu Durosinmi (Plze\u0148)<\/strong> \u2013 The forward has a perfect winning record in his last five scoring appearances.
