Since 2011, Rangers have only won the Scottish Premiership once – in the 2020-2021 season. However, they have been playing in the Premier League since 2016, but have been unable to surpass Celtic. The Light Blues' winning streak across all competitions, which lasted for eleven matches, unexpectedly came to an end in a home match against Motherwell, resulting in a 1-2 defeat. While this is only a warning sign for the club's coaching staff, the defeat to Motherwell forces Philip Clement to rethink the team's strategy. Clement will have to carefully analyze the reasons for the failure and find ways to strengthen the team's tactics before the upcoming match against the Reds. Given the significance of this match, the coach will have to make a number of important decisions to get the team back on the path to victory.

Benfica's coach, Roger Schmidt, makes unconventional decisions. For example, Kasper Tengstedt, who has scored only three goals in twenty-three matches this season and has just returned from injury, was included in the starting lineup, while faster and more technical players like Arthur Cabral and Marcos Leonardo remained on the bench. It is not surprising that the Eagles failed to score any goals. Constant experiments with defensive flanks have led to failures. However, it is worth noting that even Otamendi and Silva played very poorly this time. It is indicative that the best player for the Glorious this season – Rafa Silva, who has scored twelve goals and provided eleven assists – announced six months before the end of his contract that he does not plan to stay in the team. The reason for this decision is Roger Schmidt. All this indicates that this summer the Portuguese giant will be looking for a new coach. Meanwhile, it is important to try to stay in the championship race in Portugal and advance as far as possible in the Europa League.
