Best Football Betting Tips Today: Celtic v Midtjylland
Here we go then, it’s the start of the Champions League qualifiers for football betting tips today.
Celtic begin their long quest to try and reach the Group Stage of the competition.
It is still technically pre-season for them, so we don’t have the form to look at.
In last season’s qualifiers, they fell at the second hurdle, going out against Ferencvaros which left them with a bit of Europa League qualification to do.
Celtic got through that by then returning a poor W1 D1 L4 record from their group stage campaign.
Danish side Midtjylland just started their new domestic season on the weekend, losing at home.
But at least that was a bit of playing time under their belt.
They do rate as a threat here as they came through three rounds of qualification last year in the Champions League to reach the group stage.
Draw at 12/5

Football Betting Picks Today: Ferencvaros v Zalgiris
Football betting for today continues with European Championship qualification action.
This is action from the second qualifying round where it starts to see bigger teams enter the fray.
Ferencveros started in the first round, collecting an easy 6-1 aggregate win over Prishtina.
So that’s some good early action for the Hungarian team who started their new domestic season on August 7th.
It is Lithuania’s Zalgiris who they meet for a place in the third qualifying round.
Zalgiris have been playing some recent league and cup action on the domestic front so they are match sharp.
In the first qualifying round of the Champions League, they earned a 5-2 aggregate win over Linfield.
The challenge is going to get a lot together for them here.
Last season they failed to make it past the second round of qualification in the Europa League.
The home win looks like the most likely outcome.
Ferencveros to win to nil at 11/10

Football Betting Tips for Today: Rapid Vienna v Sparta Prague
Today’s football betting tips next looks at what could be the pick of the action in this round of qualification.
Austria Vienna played an Austrian Cup game on Friday and took a comfortable 6-0 win in that fixture.
They should be raring to go here as their next season starts next week on the domestic front.
Last season Austria Vienna fell from the Champions League qualifiers to get into the Europa League Group stage where they produced a W2 D1 L2 record.
They scored at least two goals in three of their last four games in that group.
Sparta Prague automatically qualified for the Europa League last season. It was a W2 L4 record that they earned.
The Czech side are yet to start their domestic season either and they meet Rapid Vienna for the first time here.
It may well be a very tight call between the two on the night, but we are just taking preference on the home side for a narrow win.
Rapid Vienna to win at 7/5
