Champions League: Bilson has limited strength, Wanderers are worry-free to advance? Wanderers vs. Bilson

Champions League: Rangers VS Bilson

Match time: 2025-08-06 02:45 Wednesday

Team recent situation analysis:

Rangers have performed well recently. Previously, the team also eliminated Panasinakos in two rounds with a total score of 3-1 in the Champions League qualifiers, and as a team that successfully entered the quarter-final knockout round in the Europa League last season, Rangers naturally attaches great importance to the UEFA Champions League quota this season. Moreover, the players on the team definitely hope to show their abilities in the Champions League. After all, the Champions League is a big stage for professional players to improve their reputation. In addition, the Wanderers currently have no physical concerns. So when playing at home in the first round, I believe that the Wanderers will definitely confront their opponents with a three-pointer attitude. In the last game, the Wanderers shook hands with Motherwell 1-1 in the first round of the league and failed to win the first victory of the new season. From the perspective of the game process, although the Wanderers broke the deadlock on the court at the beginning of the game and obtained a goal lead, because after the Wanderers took the lead, they chose to control the rhythm of the game, which left more room for counterattack for the opponent. Even though the Wanderers' possession rate exceeded 60% throughout the game, Motherwell's attempts at the goal were twice more than the Wanderers. It was precisely because the team's coach chose an overly conservative tactical style that Motherwell was able to equalize the big score at the end of the game.

Personal perspective, the overall strength of the Wanderers is not weak. The team has also proved their own strength in the European court in the previous two seasons, but at this stage, the Wanderers still cannot solve the defect of strong offense and weak defense. Once the team's offense is blocked, the defensive pressure will increase exponentially. In addition, the players' awareness of assisting defense is relatively limited, so there will naturally be higher requirements for the competitive state of midfielders. Considering that most players need more games to find their state at the beginning of the season, and contacting the Wanderers in the last three games, they have not been able to taste the taste of victory. It can be seen that the team's state is still not very stable now. If the Wanderers cannot show stronger offensive firepower than before in the first round, it is probably difficult for the team to get any advantage from Bilson.

Bilson's condition in the new season was also somewhat ups and downs. In the previous two UEFA Champions League qualifiers, Bilson lost one game first, and finally advanced with a total score of 3-2. Although Bilson has achieved quite good results in the past two seasons, and tied the stronger Fiorentina twice in the quarter-elimination match of the UEFA Cup last season, this team has not achieved very good results in the Champions League in the past. In the last round of the Champions League qualifying match, the opponent Rangers must be better in both overall strength and European competition. If Bilson has expectations for the qualification for the Champions League, he needs to show an excellent competitive state than before.

Of course, Bilson is also an offensive team. When the team can take the lead in the early stages of the game, players often play more proactively, which means that Bilson is a team that is better at playing down the wind. However, such teams often have major defensive flaws, and insufficient offensive and defensive balance makes it difficult for the team to maintain defensive stability during offense. In this round, the opponent Rangers not only has stronger offensive firepower, but also has considerable advantages in lineup depth. If Bilson plays too conservatively in the first round, or hopes to limit the opponent's continuous offensive by strengthening defense, then the team's hope for promotion will probably become very slim.

Event analysis:

Royals have never had any intersection with Bilson before. Although the two teams have performed relatively average recently, at least the Wanderers still maintain a record of unbeaten in ten games. What's more, the Wanderers not only have a better lineup, but also have the advantage of home court in the first round, and they will play more proactively and reasonably. However, considering that the offensive firepower of the Wanderers has indeed weakened recently, when an offensive team loses its sharp minions, the team naturally finds it difficult to create too much defensive pressure for the opponent. In addition, Bilson is actually better at off-ball tactics. If the Wanderers' formation is too high, then Bilson will get more fast attack opportunities. I believe that the Wanderers will need to spend a lot of time and energy in this game before they can successfully get the first move from Bilson to advance.
