Best Tip: Celtic to win

A Europa League victory in front of their own fans for Martin O'Neill's Celtic side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Stats suggest they have what it takes, and they should have too much for the opposition. The odds from the bookmakers are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A Celtic win is the way to go, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.

Goal Statistics

FC Utrecht have been awful at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 3 consecutive Europa League outings. This run could continue, with Celtic's PG an impressive 2.2.

An absolutely dismal PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for FC Utrecht fans, as should a 8 Europa League games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
