Celtic Preview – Can Celtic finish the job?
This 2nd leg at Celtic Park is nicely poised with the scores level at 1-1 but it’s Celtic who now hold the advantage of home turf behind them as they look to secure their passage through to the last 16 of the Europa League.
Celtic will be in confident mood ahead of this return leg as they registered a convincing 3-1 home win against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership which also extended the hosts’ unbeaten run to 11 matches in all competitions, so Neil Lennon’s side will be confident that they can gain the upper hand here.
Overall results in the Europa League have been pretty solid for Celtic who have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 9 matches overall, while at Celtic Park, the hosts have won 8 of their last 10 home ties.
Forwards Edouard (21 goals) and Griffiths (6 goals) look the most likely for The Hoops.
Copenhagen Preview – Can Copenhagen nick a win on the road?
Having failed to make the most of home advantage at their Telia Parken in last week’s 1-1 draw in the 1st leg of this round of 32 clash with Celtic, Copenhagen look to be up against it when they make their way to Glasgow for this crucial return leg as the visitors have failed to win any of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
This downturn in results have seen Copenhagen suffer defeats to Norrkoping and AGF in The Atlantic Cup as well as a Superliga 1-0 defeat away from home at Esbjerg, while results away from home in the Europa League have been rather tentative for the visitors in recent times.
Copenhagen have managed just 1 win out of their last 6 away ties in this competition which was achieved at Lugano in a 1-0 victory but draws at Slavia Prague, Malmo and Dynamo Kiev along with losses at Zenit and Riga suggest they could be facing a tough return leg at Celtic Park.
In the only previous meeting at Celtic Park, Celtic registered a 1-0 win back in 2006.
