Analysis: In the first leg, the result ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Now with Fiorentina hosting the Rangers at home, they enter the second leg as the firm favourites, tipped at -160 on the money line. But neither side enters this matchup in the best form. A run of 3 defeats in 7 league outings and a 2-2 draw at home to UC Sampdoria, the Italian side may not be the sure play. Rangers are also coming off a forgettable month in domestic play, when they saw their advantage in Scottish Premier League drop to a five-point deficit.

So as both teams step on to the European stage, troubled by domestic woes, which team has the better chance of securing a berth in the UEFA Cup finals? Home advantage points to the Italians, but with confidence shaky on both sides, anything can happen.
