Celtic vs. LASK: Champions League Playoff Prediction
In the previous season, Celtic clinched the league title on the final matchday, narrowly beating Hearts. However, they were eliminated in the Champions League playoffs by Kairat Almaty. This season, the Scottish giants aim to secure a spot in the continental tournament's group stage by facing LASK Linz, who have returned to the Austrian throne after more than 60 years. Here's our prediction for the Celtic vs. LASK match, scheduled for Wednesday, August 19th, at 9:00 PM.
Celtic vs. LASK: Match Odds and Prediction
Following a 2-2 draw in a friendly against Milan, Celtic has secured victories against Dundee FC and Kilmarnock in the league. On August 15th, they also achieved a comfortable 4-0 win against Dundee Utd in the Scottish League Cup. LASK has also had a strong start to their league campaign, winning all three of their matches played so far, scoring 9 goals and conceding only one.
Considering Celtic's greater European experience, the home advantage, and their desire to erase the bitter memory of last summer's playoff exit (against Kairat), the scales are tipping in favor of the Scottish team. For this first leg, a victory for Celtic is priced at 1.64 by Eplay24, 1.58 by BetFlag, and GoldBet.
