Celtic vs Lask Linz
📖 The Preview
Celtic should be too strong here on their home patch, and a 3-1 win makes plenty of sense when you look at the picture. They're massive favourites at 63% and LASK have actually been patchy lately, losing three on the bounce in that recent run before finding some form again. Both teams scoring feels right because LASK aren't a pushover and will fancy a go at it with elimination on the line. But Celtic's home advantage in a Champions League knockout should ultimately see them through comfortably enough.
