Key stats

  • This is the first UEFA competition match between these teams.
  • Rangers have won their previous five matches against Belgian teams in the UEFA Europa League proper, most recently, a 2-1 home victory against Union SG on Matchday 8 of the 2024/25 league phase.
  • Rangers have lost their last three UEFA competition matches. Most recently, both legs of their 2025/26 UEFA Champions League play-off tie against Club Brugge in August 2025 (1-3 h, 0-6 a).
  • Rangers have lost only three of their last 18 UEFA Europa League group/league matches (W9 D6).
  • Rangers have lost only two of their previous 19 UEFA Europa League group/league matches at home (W11 D6).
  • This is Genk’s first UEFA competition match against a Scottish team.
  • Genk have lost only two of their last nine UEFA competition group/league matches (W2 D5).
  • Only one of Genk’s last 26 UEFA matches finished without a goal being scored.

Rangers vs Genk prediction

Rangers come into this one on the back of defeating Hibernian by two goals to nil at Ibrox in the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup. However, after humiliation at the hands of Club Brugge in the playoffs of the UEFA Champions League, ‘Gers are winless in their five Scottish Premiership matches so far this season.

Genk most recently suffered a 2-1 loss to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise at the Cegeka Arena in their most recent outing, the other day. That made it back-to-back losses for the Belgians since the September international break as they sit in the bottom four and the relegation places in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.

These are two sides that are majorly underperforming domestically but, with home advantage and off the back of a much-needed win, Rangers should surely be able to make it successive wins in Glasgow.
