CelticNo absentees
Celta de VigoNo absentees
Two sides still searching for their first Europa League point collide under the lights, and our Celtic vs Celta Vigo predictions lean towards honours even at Celtic Park (8pm).
Celtic sit 34th in the 36-team league phase with no points from two outings, shipping seven goals along the way. Celta Vigo are only five places better off in 29th, also pointless after defeats to Juventus and Omonia Nicosia.
Something has to give for one of these strugglers, yet the pattern of results suggests another tight, nervy night rather than a comfortable home win. We have broken down the best bets below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone to the away side for both of our headline picks, pairing an anytime goalscorer with an anytime assist from Celta’s forward line.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Ferran Jutgla to score anytime | 12/5 (Ladbrokes) | Ferran Jutgla is Celta’s joint-top scorer in La Liga this season with two goals, level with Pablo Duran. Celtic have given him plenty to aim at, conceding seven goals across their two league-phase games, three at home to Ferencvaros and four at Benfica last time out, and they are still waiting for a first clean sheet in the competition. Celta did find the net in their home defeat to Juventus, and with Celtic 34th and leaking goals, a forward with a league goal record this term is the way in. Ladbrokes go 12/5. |
| Iago Aspas to assist | 5/1 (Ladbrokes) | Iago Aspas remains Celta’s chief creator, and the assist market makes him the shortest price at 5/1 to tee up a goal. The logic dovetails with the scorer pick: if Celta are to breach a Celtic defence that has leaked seven times already, the veteran’s craft is the likeliest route to it. Celtic have failed to keep a clean sheet in the competition and conceded three at home to Ferencvaros already this term. Backing Aspas to lay on the Celta goal our model expects makes for a tidy second string. |

How Celtic go into the game
Celtic arrive 34th in the 36-team table, with two defeats from two and not a single point on the board. The Hoops were beaten 4-1 away at Benfica last time out, a result that pushed their goals-against tally to seven.
At home they have managed just the one outing so far, a 3-1 loss to Ferencvaros in which they at least found the net. Scoring in both games has not masked the bigger problem, as no clean sheet has been kept and tightening up is the clear priority.
How Celta Vigo go into the game
Celta Vigo have endured an equally rough start, sitting 29th on zero points after losing both of their opening fixtures. The Galicians went down 2-1 at home to Juventus last time out, having previously lost 1-0 away at Omonia Nicosia.
On the road they drew a blank in that defeat in Cyprus, and across the two games they have mustered only one goal while shipping three. Finding a cutting edge in the final third is the obvious task in Glasgow.
Celtic vs Celta Vigo head-to-head
These clubs have never met in a competitive fixture, so Thursday’s clash at Celtic Park breaks fresh ground for both. With no history to lean on, recent European form is the better guide, and neither side has given their supporters much to cheer in that regard so far.
Celtic vs Celta Vigo predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draw | 5/2 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Neither club has claimed a point from their opening two fixtures, and evenly-matched strugglers tend to cancel each other out when belief is low. |
| Both teams to score – Yes | 4/6 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Celtic have found the net in both games while leaking seven, and Celta also got on the scoresheet against Juventus, pointing to goals at both ends. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 1/1 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Celta’s two matches have featured just four goals in total, and a tense meeting of nervy sides should stay the right side of this line. |
| Celtic 1-1 Celta Vigo | 6/1 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐ | Both goalkeepers have conceded in every outing so far, which makes a shared scoreline the most logical exact result on the night. |
Celtic vs Celta Vigo score prediction
Everything points to a level night between two sides desperate for a result but low on belief. Celtic will fancy their home advantage, yet their leaky back line invites Celta to grab a goal of their own. We will side with a 1-1 draw that keeps both sets of fans guessing. Score prediction: Celtic 1-1 Celta Vigo.
