What channel is Rangers v Benfica on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Rangers could clinch qualification to the knockout rounds with a win against Benfica in the Europa League live on TV this week.
Rangers will hope to maintain their terrific form in all competitions by going toe-to-toe with Portuguese giants Benfica at Ibrox this week.
Steven Gerrard's men are unbeaten in their Europa League fixtures so far at the halfway point of the group stage.
And they are flying along in the Scottish Premiership. They sit 11 points clear of Celtic without tasting defeat and have only conceded three goals in 15 games while scoring 41 in the process.
However, Gerrard will be wary of the threat Benfica pose after throwing away a two-goal lead against them in the reverse fixture.
Rangers led 3-1 away at Estadio da Luz with just 15 minutes to go before goals from Rafa Silva and Darwin Nunez bagged late on to salvage a point.

Our prediction: Rangers v Benfica
Rangers' confidence couldn't be higher than it is right now. They're pulling teams apart with ease. They're not just beating them, they're humiliating them.
Benfica are a different proposition to the standard level of Scottish Premiership opposition, but Gerrard's attacking principles remain.
They took the game to Benfica without fear last time and have nothing to lose in this one, but plenty to gain with a win. A few injuries to Benfica could be enough to shift the advantage to the home team.
Our prediction: Rangers 2-1 Benfica
