The betting base will analyze the match and present a tip and good odds for Rosenborg Trondheim vs. Celtic Glasgow.
Rosenborg:
The Rosenborg BK is the non plus ultra in the Eliteserien. In 2017 Rosenborg Trondheim became champion in Norway for the 25th time. It was also the third title in a row. The record champions finished last season with a lead of seven points on Molde FK. Rosenborg has also won the Norwegian Cup 11 times, the last time in 2016. This season 16 matches have already been played in Norway. Trondheim is currently ranked second with two points behind leaders Brann Bergen. Rosenborg have also been in the group stage eleven times in the premier group stage, the last time in the 2007/08 season. The greatest success was the achievement of the CL quarter-final in the season 1996/97. In the current qualifier Trondheim prevailed in the first round against Valur Reykjavik. Only six days before the first leg against Celtic, the Dutchman Rini Coolen had taken over the team as interim coach.
Previously, his predecessor Kare Ingebrigtsen had been quite surprisingly not dismissed even 24 hours after advancing against Reykjavik. Despite good results and seven titles in four years, Rosenborg’s president Ivar Koteng had judged the development of Ingebrigtsen to be unbearable. Trondheim was in the first round of the CL just before the end. Only through a goal in the 94th minute of “Lord” Niklas Bendtner Rosenborg reached the second round ever. Coach Ingebrigtsen had been very popular with the players and fans. The players went after his release with a statement to the public and criticized the decision of the club’s management in the strongest terms. Coach Coolen will be without Celtic on players like Anders Konradsen and Samuel Adegbenro. Yann-Erik de Lanlay is still questionable. Trondheim has suffered three defeats in the last seven competitive matches.
Celtic Glasgow:
Since the bankruptcy and obsessive relegation of Glasgow Rangers’ rival Glasgow Rangers in 2012, the “Bhoys” in Scotland are quite lonely. Last season, the Green-Whites won the seventh Scottish Championship in a row. Overall, Celtic has been able to win the championship title in the Scottish Premiership 49 times. In the last two seasons, they also managed the double together with the cup victory. At the Scottish FA Cup Glasgow is currently on 38 successes. For more than two years now, the club has been trained by Brendan Rodgers. In 95 national competitive games, there were only four bankruptcies under the coach. Overall, Celtic has already ten times the group stage of the Champions League and drew so far three times in the second round. In the first round of this year’s qualifiers, the team of coach Brendan Rodgers sovereign prevailed against Alashkert from Armenia. The offensive to Leigh Griffith or Moussa Dembelé has now been reinforced by Odsonne Edouard, who was loaned by PSG last season, but now for 10 million euros was also firmly committed.
Edouard scored twice in the first leg against Trondheim. Also the second French newcomer Olivier Ntcham, was able to register in the first leg against Trondheim in the hit list. In the preparatory games for the new season, the “Bhoys” suffered only one defeat in five games, against the Bohemians 1905 from the Czech Republic. The duels against SK Forward Steyr, Sparta Prague, Shamrock Rovers and Standard Liège all won Celtic Glasgow. Next Saturday, the Scottish double winners will also start the new league season with the match against Livingston. Jozo Simunovic, who saw a red card against Alashkert, is still missing. Also missing are Leigh Griffiths, Nir Biton and Jonny Hayes. Moussa Dembelé may return to the squad after missing out on injury in the first leg. In the last six games, the “Bhoys” scored 21 goals and won all six games.
