Live on Skysports 2 & ITV1: Tue 19.45: Celtic are 8/15 (bet365) to qualify from their Champions League tie against Helsingborgs.
Helsingborgs stand between Celtic and a place in the group stage of the Champions League but the Swedish outfit aren’t expected to prevent Neil Lennon’s men from reaching the competition’s lucrative next phase, bet365 installing the Hoops as 8/15 favourites to qualify over the course of the two legs.
It’s one of the toughest assignments Celtic could have received in the draw but they should have just about enough to negotiate the contest, especially they avoid defeat in the first leg in the Olympiastadion, where they’re slight outsiders at 9/5 courtesy of William Hill.
The home side are 7/4 (BetVictor) to take a lead over to Parkhead but there’s every chance it could finish all square, an outcome Ladbrokes quote at 23/10 and one that would suit the Hoops down to the ground.
Coral chalk the clash up at 11/2 to finish one-each and it’s a tempting 10/11 for both teams to score while BetVictor price the match at 17/4 to be all square at the end of each half.
In the evening’s other matches, Spartak Moscow look decent value at evens to rack up a first leg advantage against Fenerbahce while Basel, at 8/11 via Coral, should be too good for CFR Cluj at St Jakob-Park.
Recommended Bets:
Helsingborgs and Celtic to draw – 23/10 (Ladbrokes)
Double on Spartak Moscow and Basel – 12/5 (William Hill)
