At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the highlight of the Scottish Premier League is a matchup of old favorites, with Rangers hosting league-leading Celtic. Coach Glasgow has been on a winning streak since he took over, winning four consecutive matches. In this match, the team will go on the offensive and give Celtic a chance to counterattack. In the last three matches between the two teams, Zelodi always scored first, so it's a good bet that they will be the first to break through this time. (Live on Now 638 at 8:30pm on Monday night!)
The influence of Japanese players is growing
During the World Cup break, Gelu made a decisive managerial change by firing Yun Bonghez and hiring former assistant coach Michael Beer to take the helm, and the team was immediately rejuvenated, leading the army to win all four matches and full of confidence. Now Gelu is 9 points behind Serendipity, this is a crucial 6-point game that cannot be missed, and if they can grab the points, they can close the gap. However, it should be noted that Michael Beer has conceded the first goal in two of his four matches in charge, which indicates that his strategy of attacking for defending may have some gaps in the defense, and in case of mistakes, the chances of Zelodi will be greatly increased.
The club continues to strengthen its Japanese squad with the recent introduction of Yokohama Marinos' defense stalwart Tomohiro Iwata, who can trigger a buyout clause at the end of the season. Together with Henwu Furuhashi, Daizo Maeda, Reio Hatate, Yosuke Ideguchi and Tomohiro Kobayashi, the influence of Japanese players in the team is further expanding. Henwu Furuhashi's form has exploded after his unexpected absence from the World Cup, scoring four goals in the last three matches, and now leads the top scorer list with 14 goals, so it's no wonder that Zelodi has also won four consecutive matches after the World Cup.
The Old Firm have always been in the thick of the battle, and in the last three matches, Zelodie won only one game, but they were the first to score in all three matches. Since Gelu must attack in order to grab points, the counter-attack strategy of Zelodi is undoubtedly more effective, and it is not a surprise that they broke through the goal first again.
