- 两支球队都在流浪者队的四场比赛中取得了进球；最近五场欧罗巴联赛

- 流浪者队’；在所有比赛中有七场失利，其中五场是单球失利。
流浪者寻找道路混乱
流浪者队近年来在欧洲有着良好的战绩，距离两个赛季前赢得欧联杯还有一个点球大战，但他们必须取得另一个重要成绩，才能在周四的16强赛中战胜本菲卡队。
葡萄牙队在国内排名第一，在欧联杯淘汰赛中以2-1击败图卢兹队。
然而，他们在欧冠小组赛中表现不佳，在可能的18分中仅得4分。
流浪者队在周末以2比1惨败给马瑟韦尔队，但凯尔特人队以2比0输给红心队意味着他们在苏格兰超级联赛积分榜上保持了两分的领先优势。
家庭舒适是关键
轻蓝队在欧洲是一支很难预测的球队，他们在主场1-1战平阿里斯·利马索尔，但在客场3-2击败了皇家贝蒂斯。
本菲卡的水平可能太高了，但不要指望格尔斯会感到尴尬，他们本赛季在十场欧洲比赛中只输了两次。
流浪者队本赛季在所有比赛中输掉了七场比赛，其中五场是一球之差，他们可能会在这里遭遇类似的命运。主场2-1获胜。
- Both teams have scored in four of Rangers’ last five Europa League games
- Benfica have won nine of their last ten home games.
- Of Rangers’ seven defeats in all competitions, five have been by a single goal.
Rangers looking for road upset
Rangers have a strong record in Europe in recent years, coming within a penalty shootout of winning the Europa League two seasons ago, but they will have to pull off another big result to get the better of Benfica in Thursday’s round of 16 matchup.
The Portuguese side are a point off top spot domestically and beat Toulouse 2-1 in the Europa League knockout round.
They did perform poorly in the Champions League group stages however, taking just four points from a possible 18.
Rangers suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Motherwell at the weekend but Celtic’s 2-0 loss to Hearts meant that they retained their two-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
Home comforts to be key
The Light Blues are a hard team to predict in Europe, they drew 1-1 with Aris Limassol at home but managed to beat Real Betis 3-2 away.
Benfica’s class may be too much but don’t expect the Gers to be embarrassed, they have only lost twice in ten European matches this term.
Of Rangers’ seven losses in all competitions this season, five have been by a single goal and they may fall to a similar fate here. Back a 2-1 home win.
