Why We Like This Bet

Our Celtic vs LASK betting tips favour the Scottish champions because their home form has been outstanding. Celtic have won their last six competitive matches at Celtic Park, with four of those victories coming by at least two goals. Their attacking players have also been in excellent form, with Kasper Høgh scoring a first-half hat-trick against Kilmarnock earlier this month. LASK have enjoyed a perfect start to their domestic campaign, but Celtic have considerably more experience in Champions League qualifying. For this UEFA Champions League prediction, we expect Celtic to dominate possession, create the better chances and secure a convincing first-leg victory in front of their home supporters.

Prediction

Celtic 3-1 LASK
