Joao Araujo, a former Rangers analyst, is skilled at hurting them. Furthermore, Benfica now has the success formula thanks to the Portuguese.For the first leg of their Europa League last-16 matchup with the two-time European champions, Philippe Clement and his team are in Lisbon. Even though the hosts have players worth tens of millions, they are not in a good spot domestically, and the Light Blues are ready to try to put further pressure on them. They will welcome under pressure Roger Schmidt and his team to Ibrox for the second installment next week.Having been a member of Michael Beale’s backroom crew the previous season, Araujo is well-versed on the Rangers roster. In order to help his old team get to the quarterfinals, the former Benfica star has been giving his knowledge and experience to them. He has identified the Liga Portugal team’s points of joy when playing their Scottish rivals.He informed A Bola that “rangers have a huge size.” “As far as sports go, they are a 4x3x3 squad that can play with one player further back and two inside players in the midfield triangle, or they can have a double defensive pivot.The defensive line is formidable in duels, although Benfica may exploit some of the space that usually exists at the back by playing to depth. The Rangers are a side that prioritises direct play and is quite aggressive. Even though I’m no longer with the team, I am aware of this coach’s severe pragmatism and heavy reliance on direct play in strategy. Benfica has to win the first leg at Luz, particularly given a lot of challenges are anticipated for the second game at Ibrox.”The stadium is always packed, exudes an extremely passionate atmosphere, and the Rangers greatly benefit from the support of their supporters. Benfica meets the requirements to advance, but again, they need to win the first game in order to do so. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK

Before their Europa League round of 16 matchup with Rangers, Benfica is “riddled with weaknesses.” Journalist Stephen McGowan claims as much, with the first leg scheduled for this Thursday, March 7, in Portugal.Rangers will play the second leg at Ibrox on March 14 and go to the knockout stages after winning their group.For the Scottish Daily Mail, McGowan stated, “Benfica are a team riddled with weaknesses despite a turnover of £167 million – almost exactly double the Rangers figure of £84 million” (page 69, 6 March). The Ibrox team has a history of taking advantage of their European rivals’ unrest, and a 5-0 loss to Porto over the weekend has put head coach Roger Schmidt under a lot of strain. “The Portuguese champions have been lacklustre in Europe, despite bringing in Argentine World Cup winner Angel Di Maria for a second stint and having two exceptional players in 20-year-old Portuguese international central defender Antonio Silva and 19-year-old midfielder Joao Neves.They were defeated by Real Sociedad and Inter Milan in their Champions League group, having lost their opening four games. They also survived a close match against Toulouse, a French midtable team, in the Europa League play-off round. In the Europa League, can Rangers defeat Benfica? Benfica has undoubtedly had a difficult season in Europe, but they still have a chance to win something because to their tenacity and strong team.The Champions League trophy will obviously disappoint them, but the Europa League trophy would still represent a tremendous accomplishment for the Portuguese team.But the Gers are in their way, and considering how they won a tough Group C, they should be quietly confident.The Ibrox team nearly didn’t get it to the following round, but an incredible series of circumstances allowed them to secure first place. However, Philippe Clement’s team enters the match fresh off a heartbreaking 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory at Ibrox on Saturday (2 March) over Motherwell.Neither team wants to lose in Portugal on Thursday night, especially after Benfica also dropped their match over the weekend. In other Rangers news, following their performance in the Scottish Youth Cup, the team has a bright future ahead of them. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK
