On Matchday 5 of the
UEFA Champions League group stage
Glasgow Rangers hosts
VfB Stuttgart on upcoming Tuesday. Both clubs are in Group G without a win and so they need 3 points to protect their chance on a ticket for the UEFA CL Round of 16.
The Scottish champion Glasgow Rangers could not fulfil the high expectations in the UEFA Champions League so far. The Rangers are still without a win and last of Group G. The 1-1 in the opener fixture against VfB Stuttgart followed two 1-4 defeats against FC Sevilla and FC Unirea Urziceni. The second leg against Romanian champions Unirea Urziceni ended with a 1-1 draw. Better it runs in the national Premier League where Glasgow Rangers is still unbeaten (8 wins, 4 draws) and leading the table ahead rival Celtic Glasgow. The last round brought a 3-0 at home against FC Kilmarnock. Formidable is also the Rangers home statistic against German clubs. The Rangers have losing only two of the 21 competitive fixtures against German visitors, with six drawn. Their last defeat came in the 1989/90 season with 1-3 against FC Bayern München.
As well as Glasgow Rangers also their opponent VfB Stuttgart is still without a win in the UEFA Champions League 2009/10 group stage. Stuttgart started with the 1-1 against Glasgow Rangers followed by a 1-1 on Matchday 2 against the Romanian champions Unirea Urziceni. Then VfB lost at home against the Spanish club FC Sevilla 1-3, the second leg in Spain ended 1-1. The goal for Stuttgart scored Zdravko Kuzmanović ten minutes before end of regular time. Few promising is their away statistic. Stuttgart has not won any of their last nine fixtures on an opponent's ground in the European cups. In the German Bundesliga Stuttgart faces rank 16 with 2 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats. The last Bundesliga round brought a 1-1 at home against table last Hertha BSC.
