Celtic vs FC Copenhagen Prediction & Betting tips
The return in the sixteenth finals of the Europa League between Celtic and FC Copenhagen promises to be spectacular. With a 1-1 draw, last week’s away match did not yield a winner, so both teams will give everything in the return to Parkhead.
Celtic:
With ten wins and a draw in all competitions, Celtic could hardly have started 2020 better. The top club from Glasgow can hardly miss title pronging in the Scottish Premier League, and the green and white also do very well in the national cup competitions. Celtic’s real challenge, however, lies outside its own national borders. Thanks to Odsonne Edouard’s goal from last week, the Scots have managed to give themselves an excellent starting position, but with the 1-1 draw in and against Copenhagen, a place in the eighth finals of the Europa League is certainly no formality.
Thanks to the excellent shape, nothing is wrong with Scottish self-confidence. “Celtic is going to qualify for the next round,” said former player Paul Hartley. “The team has been strong since the turn of the year, thanks in part to the current 3-5-2 formation. I even think Celtic can win the Europa League this year. ” That may be a little too optimistic, but at the moment Celtic does indeed have something invincible about it. Also last weekend The Hoops recorded another solid victory, this time at the expense of Kilmarnock (3-1). Edouard was again accurate and signed for his ninth goal in his last nine appearances.
FC Copenhagen:
2020 has not brought much prosperity to FC Copenhagen, as the Danes are still waiting for their very first victory of the new calendar year. The team was close last week, but midfielder Jens Stage saw his penalty kick turned in the final phase by Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
Partly as a result of that mistake, FC Copenhagen remained stuck in a 1-1 draw in the first game, which means that the Danes will have to score in Glasgow on Thursday evening. The good news is that defenders Victor Nelsson and Ragnar Sigurdsson and attacker Dame N’Doye are back in shape after minor aches and pains. That means that trainer Stale Solbakken can count on the same players as last weekend’s 1-1 draw against Silkeborg. However, the Danes will still have to do without former Ajax players Nicolai Boilesen and Viktor Fischer.
