The 2024-2025 Europa League group stage will enter its second round of matches, with Porto and Man United at the centre of the action. Both teams have yet to pick up a point after their opening match. With the new format of European competitions, such a disappointing loss of points could be a huge disadvantage in the race for a direct ticket to the round of 16.
Another representative of English football, Tottenham, will face Ferencvaros of Hungary. In the opening match against Anderlecht (Belgium), Ferencvaros suffered a 1-2 defeat and showed many difficulties under the high pressure created by the opponent. Spurs are certainly rated higher with superior class and experience. This will probably be an easy match for Postecoglou and his team.
The match between Rangers and Lyon is also quite balanced as the two teams have fought many times in top European tournaments. Lyon has not been in good form in Ligue 1 since the beginning of the season, only ranked 11th on the rankings. With home advantage, Rangers are confident enough to bring home a positive result.
