Sevilla is heavily favored at home in Champions League betting action on Wednesday as they host Rangers at 2:45pm EST. It is a more important game for Sevilla since they need a win to ensure they finish at the top of Group G. They lead the group with 10 points while Unirea Urziceni has 8 points; Stuttgart has 6 points while Rangers have 2 points. Sevilla is -1.5 goals on the soccer betting line with a total of 2.5 OVER -120. The three-way line in Champions League odds has Sevilla at -285, Rangers +800 and the Draw at +350. While Sevilla is playing for first place in the group there is nothing at stake for Rangers since they will finish in last place. Rangers may not place much importance on this game considering they have a home game against St. Johnstone this weekend. That could mean Rangers rests players for this match on Wednesday. One player that may not see action for Rangers is Kris Boyd who suffered a thigh strain when he scored twice in Saturday's 3-1 win over Falkirk in Champions League betting. "I spoke to the physio yesterday and he said it was a bit touch and go, to be honest with you," said assistant manager Ally McCoist, "In an ideal situation, he'd bit fit, but we certainly won't risk him if there's any doubt at all." Bet on Seville -285 as favorites in Champions League betting odds against Rangers for Wednesday game. Boyd was even unsure about his status for Wednesday. "I'll look forward to Wednesday if I'm fit. If not, I'll be ready for Saturday." Boyd said. Also, Steven Naismith will not play in this match as he has a leg injury. Sevilla is not at full strength either. Star striker Luis Fabiano will not play due to a foot injury. Sevilla is coming off a draw on Saturday against Valladolid in Champions League betting odds as the teams played to a 1-1 tie. The player to watch in this soccer betting match for Sevilla is Arouna Kone. With Fabiano out of the lineup, Kone may be able to pick up the slack. Birmingham City could be targeting him in the January transfer period so this could be a showcase game for him. If Rangers is to have any chance in this game in soccer odds then Steven Davis will need to play well. It has not been a good year for Davis but he has the capability to steal this game for Rangers. This match in Champions League betting doesn’t mean much to either side although Sevilla would like to win the group. That might be enough motivation to get past Rangers in soccer odds but without Fabiano it could be a 1-0 result or even a draw if Rangers comes to play. BetUS has Sevilla -285 favorites against Rangers in Champions League odds with a total of 2.5 OVER -120.
