Best Tip: Both teams to score

Having studied all relevant stats, including historical head-to-head (H2H) data, we predict this tie will deliver both elation and misery to both home and away supporters. We expect both LASK Linz and Celtic to find the back of the net during the 90 mins, but the ultimate victor of the game seems less clear. Bookmaker's odds also point towards a both teams to score bet, and that looks a wise bet to us.

Goal Statistics

LASK Linz have been steady in front of goal of late, scoring in 12 consecutive Champions League games. Their PG of 1.9 against Celtic on Tuesday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

LASK Linz's defensive record is to be admired, D. Kühbauer's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Champions League games. An average PG rating of 1.4 for Celtic makes sense in this context.
