Odds correct at 11:12 on 22 Oct. Returns include the stake.
This bet needs Celtic to win without conceding and by no more than three goals, so 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0, and Under 3.5 Goals at 4/9 covers the top of that range. Seven of Celtic’s last nine in the Scottish Premiership stayed under the line, as did eight of Celta’s last nine in La Liga. The case against sits in Europe: Celtic lost 4-1 at Benfica in the Europa League on 15 October, five goals in one night, and two of their nine league matches also went past three.
Both teams scored in four of Celtic’s last nine Scottish Premiership matches and in four of Celta’s last nine in La Liga, so No at 27/20 is far from settled. Alongside a Celtic win, it means Celta not scoring at all. Celtic kept four clean sheets in those nine and conceded 0.56 goals a game, while Celta failed to score in four of theirs and averaged 1.11 goals a game. Celta were also kept out in the Europa League in September, beaten 1-0 away to Omonia Nicosia.
Celtic to win at 17/10 is our pick on this fixture, resting on eight wins from their last nine in the Scottish Premiership, including 7-1 against Hearts on 18 October, at 2.56 goals a game. The doubts are real, with Celta 2-5-2 over their last nine in La Liga and drawing all four of their away games in that run, and Celtic lost 3-1 at home to Ferencvárosi in their opening Europa League match. Celtic still won four of their five home league matches in those nine, and Celta have won two of their nine overall, so the home side are the ones to back.
