Karabakh v Celtic Predictions and Football Betting Tips

Football predictions and betting tips for Wednesday night’s Qarabag v Celtic Champions League qualifying match from our football tipster.

 

Celtic travel to the unknown in their latest Champions league qualifier to face the Azerbaijani champions Karabakh. With them they take a one goal advantage courtesy of a Dederik Boyata header late on in the second half of the first leg at Parkhead last week, will Celtic progress in the Champions League? Read on for our football betting tips.

 

Football Predictions – Qarabag v Celtic Champions League.

 

Celtic are all too aware this tie will not be the walk in the park they had in the last round when they defeated Icelandic champions Stjarnan 6-1 over the tie and they will expect a tough encounter in the dry, hot climate of Baku.

 

Karabakh are going to have to give it a go throughout the 90 minutes and with their recent home record which has included a draw with Italian Giants Inter Milan last December they clearly have the quality to pose a threat to Celtic. Celtic know they will probably have to find the net to be sure of qualification. Based on this I see great value in backing both teams to score.

 

My first football betting tip for Karabakh v Celtic is both teams to score, the best odds are 11/10 at Bet365.

 

Leigh Griffiths was taken off shortly after opening the scoring for Celtic against Ross County on Saturday and is a serious doubt for this match. Couple this with the fact that new boy Nadir Ciftci is currently serving a six match domestic ban for biting Jim McCallister whilst playing for Dundee United in the Tayside Derby last season and the chances are the new Celtic number seven will lead the line on Wednesday night. Ciftci will be desperate to prove his doubters wrong and show he can deliver the goods on the biggest stage of all and the 11/2 being offered by Ladbrokes for him to open the scoring looks to be fantastic value.

 

My next Karabakh v Celtic prediction is for Nadir Ciftci to be the first goalscorer of the match, the best odds are 11/2 at Ladbrokes.

 

Celtic will have one eye on the next round if they take an early lead, which I fancy them to do and with a trip to Glasgow rivals Partick Thistle in the Sunday lunchtime kick off to contend after this match, Ronny Deilas side may take the foot off the gas and invite pressure in the second half. Although I don't feel Karabakh will have enough to bring themselves back into contention, they will certainly tie the match on the night and I believe this is the way it will finish.

 

For a correct score betting tip on this week’s Champions League clash, take the 6/1 with Paddy Power that Karabakh v Celtic ends in a 1-1 draw.

 

Ronny Deila has commented on the importance of Champions League football to the Glasgow club of late and there is no way he will want or be allowed to let it slip from the clubs fingers for a second season running and Celtic should find safe passage to the last round of qualifying on Wednesday night.
