Celtic - Suduva Prediction, Picks and Tips
Celtic and Sūduva meet at Celtic Park, in a return match for this phase of the UEFA Europa League (Play-offs), after a (1-1) draw in the first leg.
The home team comes to this match back in advantage, after the draw was by (1-1) in the first leg, so a draw may be enough to get the qualification. In the last match that they played, for the Premier League, they won against Hamilton Academical at home (1-0). Celtic has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. The team has scored goals against the opponent in 7 of the last 10 matches, so his defense needs to improve, but his attack has scored regularly, since he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. Celtic is a club that has forty-nine Premier League titles (Scottish Championship 1st Division), plus thirty-eight Scottish Cup titles, ten League Cups and one Champions League. In the current season, the Scottish team was eliminated in the third qualifying round of the Champions League by the AEK, of Greece, after tying at home by 1x1 and losing away from home by 2x1. In the last five games that Celtic played in their stadium, in four they scored two or more goals and in three they scored more than 2.5 goals. We believe that in this match Celtic will again manage to make a game with several goals, mainly due to playing at home and against a weaker opponent technically and having to win to qualify.
The away team comes to this second leg at a disadvantage, because despite the draw in the first leg they suffered 1 goal at home. In the last 10 games played as a visitor for all competitions, the Sūduva won 7 and lost 3. In 14 matches, he suffered the first goal 6 times and never got the comeback. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 8 away matches for all competitions: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'-90 '). The Suduva Marijampole is a club that has never conquered European competition titles, but has already won the "Lyga" (Lithuanian Championship) in 2017, which guaranteed a place in the qualifiers of the Europa League 2018/19. In the current season, in addition to leading the national championship, for the qualifying rounds of the Europa League 2018/19, the team eliminated Spartaks Jurmala. After that, Celtic, known as the Scottish giant, in the first game played at home and drew 1x1. Now he will have to visit Celtic having to score goals, since a 0x0 qualifies Celtic, but we do not believe that because of Celtic's offensive style the match ends in 0x0, it is more likely that Celtic will want to win against his fans, to guarantee the qualification without suffering too much.
