Celtic vs Benfica Betting Tips and Match Prediction

The Scottish champions face a tough test when Portuguese side Benfica come to Celtic Park this Wednesday.

Celtic have been given odds as long as 31/10 for a European home match, which a few years ago would seem unthinkable regardless of who was visiting Parkhead, but unfortunately for Bhoys fans, times have changed and the price is warranted. Benfica are slightly better than evens with Paddy Power at 23/20. The draw is offered at 5/2 by Bet365.

Despite their poor showing in the league so far this season and their rather lacklustre squad, I think the occasion of a European night at Paradise, which has been highlighted by Paolo Maldini as something every professional footballer should seek to experience in their career, will make Celtic raise their game and stop Benfica from scoring. Celtic to keep a clean sheet can be found at 11/4 with Bet365.
