Celtic v Jablonec betting tips: Hoops hope to ease through

Jablonec have only reached the group stage of the Europa League once in their history and they are 6/1 to win the second leg, while it is 4/6 that both sides score in Celtic v Jablonec betting tips.

Celtic v Jablonec head-to-head

Last week’s meeting was the first between these teams but Jablonec have scored in five of their previous seven European games and it is 9/4 that they score the first goal in the tie, which would make things interesting.

Celtic have scored in each of their last five competitive games and thumped Dundee 6-0 on Sunday. They are 17/10 to win to nil here.

Jablonec, who finished five points behind Sparta Prague in the league last season, are 10/1 to win the game but concede at least one goal.

Celtic v Jablonec team news

New signing James McCarthy, who missed the first leg and the clash with Dundee on Sunday, could make his Celtic debut.

Kyogo Furuhashi started in place of Brighton and Southampton target Odsonne Edouard again on Sunday and scored a hat-trick, while Ismaila Soro, James Forrest and Nir Bitton, who were rested in favour of Tom Rogic, Stephen Welsh and Ryan Christie, are likely to return.

Celtic v Jablonec key battles

Celtic created a glut of chances in the first leg but failure to kill the game off resulted in a few nervous moments, with Vojtech Kubista volleying over, Vaclav Pilar forcing a smart save from Hart, and Marek Plasil’s deflected snap-shot going narrowly wide.

Central defender Carl Starfelt has looked ill at ease at times but hopefully the growing understanding he has with the experienced Joe Hart, who made his Celtic debut in the first leg, will help him going forward.

Celtic should be able to complete the job with ease if they are more compact between the lines and the Hoops are 12/5 to win both halves as the last of our Celtic v Jablonec betting tips.
