Under 4.5 goals at 1/4 keeps the total in check alongside the Celtic win, so the risk here is a Celtic win in a high-scoring game. Five or more goals came in one of Celtic’s last ten Scottish Premiership matches and in two of Besiktas’ last ten in the Turkish Super Lig, and Celtic concede 0.9 a game in their league.
Over 10.5 corners at 21/20 leans on Celtic, whose Scottish Premiership matches averaged 13 corners between the two sides and went over 10.5 in seven of the last ten. Besiktas are where the doubt lies, since their Turkish Super Lig matches averaged 10.4 corners and half of their last ten stayed under 10.5, while three of those Celtic matches fell short too. It is the one part of this bet that does not depend on the score.
Celtic to win at 2/1 rests on their Scottish Premiership form: seven wins, one draw and two defeats in their last ten, with three wins from five league games at home, though one of those defeats was 2-0 against Falkirk on 1 November. Besiktas are 6-1-3 over their last ten in the Turkish Super Lig but have won only one of their five league games away from home. The worry is Celtic’s Europa League form, with home defeats by Celta de Vigo on 22 October and in their opening game on 17 September, while Besiktas won 3-2 away to TSG Hoffenheim in this competition on 15 October.
