Celtic Preview – Can Celtic make winning start in new era?
Celtic will bring in a new era at Celtic Park ahead of this Champions League 2nd qualifying round 1st leg tie against Midtjylland with Australian coach, Ange Postecoglou, replacing the former manager, Neil Lennon, and the hosts will be hoping they can make a winning start here.
Celtic finished runners-up to Scottish Premiership champions, Rangers, but in truth, The Hoops were a poor second as they ended up 25 points adrift of The Gers by the end of the second phase of the domestic top flight season.
Nevertheless, Celtic have lost just three of their last 14 matches in all competitions, two of which were away from home at Rangers but the hosts have won six of their last eight games at Celtic Park while in the Champions League, Celtic have lost just two of their last eight ties at home.
Midtjylland Preview – Can Midtjylland bounce back?
Midtjylland’s opening game of their domestic Superliga campaign in Denmark didn’t go according to plan as they were handed a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home by Odense and this isn’t great preparation for this 1st leg clash against Celtic.
Midtjylland wobbled towards the end of last season’s Danish Superliga season, losing two of their last four games of the season against Brondby and Copenhagen (both of which were away from home), while overall results of late have seen the visitors win just three of their last eight matches in all competitions.
In the Champions League, Midtjylland have also struggled as the visitors are without a win in their last six games overall, losing four of these.
