Rangers vs Jablonec: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Glasgow giant had a terrible start last season, but later had a chance to finally win the Premiership. However, they lost to both Hearts and Celtic at the end, finishing below both. This season also began poorly with only a draw against Dundee United and a loss to Hibernian, and only in the League Cup did they thrash St. Mirren. The team from Jablonec nad Nisou, just like in 2024/2025, finished fifth in their league and reached the cup final, but lost there. However, this time they started with three wins and a total score of 5-1.
The Scots have already suffered a setback. In the Europa League, their opponent was Jagiellonia. After losing 1-2 away, they opened the scoring quite quickly at home. But ultimately, not only did they fail to build on that, but allowed their opponent to equalize!
The Czechs were much more successful, but in the Conference League. True, they started with a 2-3 loss to Varaždin, but then scored a couple of unanswered goals at home against the Croats. Against RFS, they were flawless: 2-0 at home, 2-1 in Latvia.
