Celtic (Sco) vs KR Reykjavik (Ice) Prediction & Betting tips
The 2019-20 Champions League is not even over yet, as many national champions are already fighting again in the qualifying rounds for the group stage for the 2020-21 season. During the week the first round is due and there is a clear forecast of the Scots’ progress between Celtic Glasgow and KR Reykjavik.
Celtic Glasgow has tremendous experience in the Champions League. The Icelandic champions, however, have never made it past the second qualifying round for the premier class. It would be a big surprise if Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavik, KR for short, were able to prevail against the big favorites.
For the Scots, however, the path should go much further. Ferencvaros Budapest or Djurgardens should also only be a transit station in the next round.
Therefore, it is more than just a first impulse to give a tip in the duel between Celtic Glasgow and KR Reykjavik on the Scots who want to prevail in this one duel in Celtic Park, there is no second leg. In any case, the odds of the best betting providers speak a clear language.
Celtic Glasgow:
The Scottish champions have not really got going this season. Four game days have been completed in the Premier League, but Celtic was only allowed on the lawn twice. The games against St. Mirren and Aberdeen had to be canceled.
Thus, Neil Lennon’s team is only sixth in the Premier League table with four points.
After missing the leap into the Champions League in last year’s qualification, this should be made up for this year. After all, the Hoops have only lost one of the last six games in the qualifying for the premier class. This is not the only reason why the odds comparison of the betting base speaks a clear language in the direction of the Scots’ progress.
After Jozo Simunovic’s departure, the Hoops have not yet been able to sign a real alternative in central defense. The defensive problems were already evident in the Scottish Premier League. We therefore think it is conceivable to take a close look at the odds on goals of both teams between Celtic Glasgow and KR Reykjavik.
Neil Lennon’s team have only played one clean sheet in seven games this season, including friendly matches. It is also conceivable that the Scottish champions will compete with two real tips on Tuesday, which could possibly affect the defensive balance. The last encounter between the Scots was nine days ago on match day and was a 1-1 draw at FC Kilmarnock.
KR Reykjavik:
In the Icelandic Pepsideild, defending the title remains the goal of KR Reykjavik. In the table, Runar Kristinsson’s team is currently only a pursuer. Fourth place is currently on the books after ten match days. The front runner Valur is currently five points short. That is not a backlog that cannot be made up.
Reykjavik have only lost one of their last nine games. The Icelandic champions have already proven their good form several times this season and only failed to score once in these nine games. Most recently, the Icelanders have not been so successful with just one win from the last four games.
Last weekend there was a sensitive 1: 2 home bankruptcy in the pursuit duel against Hafnarfjordur. After falling behind, Kristjan Floki Finnbogason equalized 1-1 just before the break. In the end, however, it should not be enough to win points. Nevertheless, this match also made it clear that between Celtic Glasgow and KR Reykjavik a prediction on goals by both teams is justified.
There shouldn’t be any major changes to the formation. It looks like Icelanders will compete with the best team in one of the biggest games in the club’s history and hope for a little football miracle, which Icelandic football has been well known for in recent years.
