9/1 Tuesday football accumulator

Four worth having from Europe

Tuesday offers football punters an interest, with the qualifying first round of the Champions League scheduled from 5.00pm and Rangers’ trip to Progres in the Europa League. It’s the second-leg, so we have a fair idea of how the fixtures should pan out.

Rangers beat Progres Niedercorn

Rangers were convincing winners in the first leg at Ibrox on Thursday, but they only scored one goal, meaning this tie is up in the air. The chances were there for The Bears to score maybe one or two more, but there was a real pre-season feel about the game, and not a lot looks to have changed from last season despite a host of new signings.

Transfers from Mexico, Colombia and Portugal, and it takes old favourite Kenny Miller to pull them out of a hole. The team will only come on for that game, and although it remains in the balance, we make the Scots capable of going through. Coral have the away day at 1/4, and that does a job.

Linfield beat La Fiorita

Linfield and La Fiorita met less than a week ago, with the Northern Ireland Premier League side, currently managed by former Rangers striker David Healy, grabbing a 1-0 win. That victory got their noses in front, but it’s an uneasy lead, and they will travel to San Marino knowing there’s still much work to do.

Jordan Steward climbed off the bench to score a late winner, rounding goalkeeper Gianluca Vivan on 89 minutes to deliver a late sucker-punch, and delight a near 3,000 strong support. Both sides know the winner will be given a golden handshake, playing Scottish champions Celtic in the next round, so there’s everything to play for. The first leg was tight, but it’s worth noting that Linfield missed a penalty, and controlled the play for large parts, so probably should’ve won by more. They are more than capable of going and finishing the job at Coral’s 4/9.
