  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Borna Barisic, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Robert Mudrazija suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 18' Alfredo Morelos puts Rangers FC on the lead.
