Celtic kick off their Europa League campaign with a tough away fixture in Serbia.

FK Crvena Zvezda vs Celtic Prediction

  • Crvena Zvezda enter the Europa League after being eliminated by Pafos in the Champions League playoffs. They were quick to react to that disappointment, winning three consecutive matches and scoring 14 goals in the process. Last weekend’s derby win over Partizan has further boosted confidence ahead of Thursday’s clash.
  • Celtic have shown impressive defensive solidity, conceding only one goal in their last six games. They sit top of the Scottish Premiership and have only dropped points in the Old Firm so far. However, playing at Rajko Mitic — the Maracanã of the Balkans — is notoriously difficult, and the Serbs will be confident of taking points.

Score Prediction: FK Crvena Zvezda 1-0 Celtic

FK Crvena Zvezda vs Celtic Bet Builder Tips

Our bet builder tips for FK Crvena Zvezda vs Celtic features FK Crvena Zvezda to Win, Arnautovic 1+ foul & Daizen Maeda 1 + Shot on Target.

At the time of publishing it is a best price of 16/1 with bet365.

FK Crvena Zvezda to Win

The Serbs are in strong form, scoring 14 goals in their last three matches and coming off a derby win. Celtic’s defensive record is solid, but the atmosphere and intensity at Rajko Mitic could tip the balance.

Arnautovic Shown a Card

Arnautovic has two fouls in just 47 minutes of football this season. He's a player who can let the occasion get the better of him, and a European night against a physical Celtic side should give him plenty of opportunity.

Daizen Maeda 1 + Shot on Target

Maeda has a shot on target in 12 of his last 14 appearances - averaging 1.3 per 90 in his last 20 appearances.
