Utrecht v Celtic
This sports betting tip was written by Sandy on August 26th, 2010 at 17:11
over 45 pts on cards.
celtic take a 2 goal lead to holland for this europa league qualifer but this tie is far from over. Lennons side have a lot of work to do but having played well at celtic park and deserved the victory he will feel his boys can score the all important away goal to settle the tie.
its looking pretty good for celtic after a terrible start to the season- getting hammered in braga. i guess with so many new players coming in it was always going to take time to gel- and to be fair braga have now proved by beating seville that they are a pretty decent outfit.
2 wins in the spl for celtic over inverness and st mirren. games you expect celtic to win but the hoops played a lot of nice football in both these fixtures. im not sure about their defence but going forward celtic look more than ready to compete with rangers for the league.
utrecht are not one of the top dutch sides but they are known for being a pretty strong side at home. its quite an intimidating place to visit and the home fans will believe an early goal would make this tie 50/50 and wide open once again.
i think this will be a game with a lot of cards, these games are so vital to sides. playing in the europa league brings extra cash and ofcourse gives supporters big european nights to look forward to rather than facing the same sides from domestic football.
celtic like a battle they are a much stronger side this season, both mentally and physically. many felt this was the reason they trailed rangers and lost the title by such a distance last year. lennon as manager has changed that and brought much stronger players in, experienced players that will fight and do whats needed to win games.
i dont see 5 cards in this game as a big ask i think we can expect plenty of tackles in this 1 and a busy night for the referee.
