Celtic vs Rosenborg Prediction & Betting tips
The Scottish team starts slightly as a favorite due to the collective potential that it possesses, which usually increases when it acts in its stadium. For this reason and knowing that his opponent usually lowers his level when he acts in European competitions, we believe that the bet “Celtic will win any half” is interesting to bet “. It paints to be a duel fought in certain areas of the field, but favorable to those led by Brendan Rodgers for his greater individual hierarchy.
Celtic:
The picture “verdiblanco” does not go very well to this duel after equaling 0-0 against visiting St. Mirren. These days, he has 10 points in the general table, product of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 total loss. In matters of goals, he has scored 5 and has given 2 on his fence, standing out for scoring the right and for being solid in defensive matters. He has added 3 games with his unbeaten fence, proving to be a cohesive and well worked between the lines. Now his goal is to make a good campaign in the Europa League after failing to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League (elimination against Greek AEK, after equalizing 1-1 at home and losing 2-1 to visit).
As a local, Celtic has played 3 games for their domestic league, managing to win them all consecutively. He comes from beating Livingston 3-1, beating Hamilton 1-0 and defeating Rangers 1-0 in the classic. For the preliminary phase of the Champions League, drew 1-1 against the Greeks as mentioned above. Then came the match against Suduva, which allowed the team to sneak into this European competition. That game was largely dominated by the Scots, showing it by winning 1-0 from the initial stage and 3-0 after the final whistle.
Rosenborg:
The Norwegian side played before Valerenga on a visit last Sunday (2-3 victory after equalizing 1-1 in the first half). He currently has 49 points in the table, his goal being to continue fighting the championship with Brann. Before the recess by the date FIFA, the team took a positive streak of results, demonstrating it by adding 4 wins in 5 presentations (3 consecutively). If goals are involved, he has scored 40 and has given 18 on his fence, standing out for being an effective oncense on attack and relatively solid defensive.
As a visitor he has registered acceptable results, after winning 8 matches, matching another and losing the remaining 2 that he played in this condition (16 goals in favor and 8 assigned in his goal). Before the game with Valerenga, the team had won 0-1 at Sandefjord, 1-3 at Ranheim and 0-2 at Kristiansund. Before this streak he had lost 2-1 to Brann last June. For this exit it is expected that the “Nordics” take their precautions, as they will collide with a compact rival and well worked in their actions. In addition they should be careful of the field factor, since the Celtic fans are quite noisy at the time of cheering (grandstands very close to the field).
In the last year and two months, Celtic and Rosenborg have met twice in Scottish territory. These were the results of those matches: Draw 0-0 in July of 2017 and triumph 3-1 July 2018. Both duels were for the preliminary phase of Champions League. In the game they played two months ago, Scots and Norwegians equaled 1-1 in the initial stage. Then 2 more goals arrived in the complementary stage.
