Betting Tips: Celtic vs Sarajevo

  /  autty

After a comfortable win in last week's first leg, our tipster thinks that the Scottish champions could turn on the style in Glasgow on Wednesday

Celtic can seal their place in the second round of Champions League qualifiers in Glasgow on Wednesday night.

The Hoops showed admirable character in last week's first-leg against FK Sarajevo, falling behind before rallying to claim a comfortable 3-1 win against Husref Musemic's men.

The Scottish champions, therefore, already have one foot in the next round and can be backed at just 1/7 (1.14) with bet365 to win Thursday's return leg.

FK Sarajevo are a 16/1 (17.0) chance with bet365 to claim a famous victory in Glasgow. The odds compilers offer 13/2 (7.50) that the second leg of this tie ends in stalemate.

Mikey Johnston and Boli Bolingolo-Mbombo will both be assessed after picking up knocks during last week's first-leg. Christopher Jullien could make his competitive debut after impressing in a friendly against Rennes at the weekend.

The Hoops were unable to find a way through in their friendly fixture against Rennes at the weekend. Wednesday's tie, though, looks likely to be more productive for the hosts.

Celtic can be backed at 8/11 (1.73) with bet365 to score more than two goals in this game. The same firm go 8/15 (1.53) that the Hoops are ahead at both half-time and full-time.

Sarajevo scored the opening goal last week, but this assignment may prove too tough for the visitors. Indeed, bet365 offer just 8/13 (1.62) that Musemic's men fail to find the net in Glasgow and 4/9 (1.44) that Celtic (-1) beat the handicap mark.

Celtic will be roared on by a passionate support and Lennon's men will not wish to fluff their lines in their first competitive home game of the campaign. The 11/10 (2.10) quote from bet365 for the Hoops to win both halves may well reap rewards.

Odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
