On Tuesday, at 19:45, Celtic Glasgow receives the visit of the Icelandic champion KR Reykjavik, in the first match of the UEFA Champions League preliminaries, counting for the 2021/2022 season. The hosts are big favorites to win and should quickly decide the fate of the game.
On esforuna.ro you have a really generous share for the success of the band from Celtic Park, given that KR Reykjavik did not break the mouth of the fair this start of the season. The Icelanders come after a failure on their own field with Hafnarfjordur, score 1-2, managing only one victory in the last four official matches: a 2-0 with modest Fjolnir, in the Cup. Otherwise, Celtic had a “forced” break in the Scottish championship, after Bolingoli’s escape.
Thus, Neil Lennon’s band did not play last weekend and is 100% fresh, without significant batch problems. This season, Celtic defeated Hamilton (5-1) in the championship, but drew at Kilmarnock (1-1) in an authoritative dominated match. With all the numbers on his side, Celtic should quickly solve the qualification problem, and manager Neil Lennon announced that the categorical victory is the only “acceptable” result for the white-greens.
The two teams have dueled in the past, in the Champions League. In the 2014 preliminaries, Celtic won 4-0 at home and 1-0 away, for an emotionless qualification in the next phase. We expect a similar scenario and winning bets on goals!
In 3 of the last 4 matches of Celtic they scored both teams;
In 7 of the last 8 matches played by Reykjavik, at least two goals were scored;
In the last direct match, Celtic led 3-0 at the break (goals Van Dijk – 2 and Pukki);
The Icelanders have lost only two of their last 13 official matches;
PREDICTION: Over 3,5 goals @ 1,82
