RANGERS will be out to avoid Champions League embarrassment tonight as they bring a nightmare campaign to a close against Ajax.
A sixth successive defeat would make it the worst group stage performance in history and McBookie make the Dutch side 17/20 favourites.
Gers are as big as 11/4 and that’s probably based on the 4-0 battering Ajax dished out when these sides squared up in Amsterdam.
But since that win on Matchday One, Ajax have been every bit as bad as Gers in Europe, shipping 17 goals in four successive defeats.
That means Gio van Bronckhorst’s men still have a chance to pip them for a Europa League slot, although they need to win 5-0.
It bodes well for goals but BTTS is just 10/17 while over 2.5 strikes is also tiny at 3/5 with Unibet.
So I’m going for the anytime scorer market, with Antonio Colak a tempting 9/4 with Bet365 and in-form Brian Brobbey 7/4 with the same firm.
Napoli will fancy their chances at Anfield after watching Leeds win there at the weekend. William Hill have the red-hot Serie A leaders at 16/5 for a win which looks overpriced.
The most thrilling finale comes in Group D with all four teams still in with a chance of qualifying.
Spurs sit top but face a tough game in Marseille while Sporting Lisbon host Eintracht Frankfurt.
It promises goals so I’m going for a BTTS double which pays 178/100 at McBookie.
- Super single: Colak to score (9/4, Bet365).
- BTTS double: Marseille and Sporting (178/100, McBookie).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining a Napoli win with BTTS pays 483/100.
