Analysis
Celtic vs LASK In the first leg of this UEFA Champions League qualifying match between Celtic and LASK taking place in Celtic Park, we will be walking you through how we came about our prediction. LASK had a strong finish to last season, accumulating 13 points from 15; a charge that helped them secure their first Austrian Bundesliga title in 61 years. They have started on a positive note this season, taking the maximum of 9 points after winning their first 3 opening matches to prove that last season wasn’t a one-off. It is safe to say that the Austrian side are in good form. Celtic, on the other hand, are no new-comers to the European stage, after clinching their fifth consecutive domestic league title after a dramatic final day victory over Hearts under manager Martin O Neil. A victory that has given them the chance to compete once again among the European big boys. Celtic have started quite well this season, taking maximum points from their 2 opening fixtures. There is nothing much to use in separating these two clubs based on recent form. As well as the official UEFA country coefficient rankings, Celtic (Scotland) are seated at #20, while Austria (LASK) are seated right above at #19. In tight situations like this with little or no head-to-head records on both sides, our experts have decided to back the Scottish club side due to two factors: competition experience and home advantage. Although, they both play a similar style of expansive and possession-based football, we have decided to go safe by backing the home team to come out with a win or draw. Other value bets you can consider in this fixture is the goal market, such as OVER 1.5 goals, as a 2-1 home result is a possibility in this fixture. Celtic to win or draw is our prediction for this fixture Please stake responsibly. Gambling is reserved for 18+ (and as per the age-restricted laws in your area)
