Rosenborg News and Form
Rosenborg have been the whipping boys of the group and they have to win and hope that Leipzig lose on Thursday to stay in contention of qualification. With no points on the board after four games, it looks unlikely that they will turn this around. Back on matchday one Rosenborg lost 1-0 against Celtic and that has been the same way the other three of their games have gone. They have scored in both of their home games so far in the group though and therefore both teams to score may be worth a look at 3/4 odds* (betting odds taken on November 27th, 2018 at 8:28 pm).
The Trondheim club have scored three goals in five of their last ten home games in European competition actually. But overall they have won only two of their previous 11 Europa League group stage games at home. They have lost seven of those eleven and they are on a three match losing streak at home in the competition. Rosenberg’s overall form against Scottish sides is W1 D3 L9 and at home it is W1 D1 L4.

Celtic News and Form
Celtic are on six points in the group, level with RB leipzig. A great home win over the Germans last time out kept Celtic’s qualification hopes alive. While they have won both of their home games in the group they have lost their two on the road, going down 3-1 at Salzburg and 2-0 at Leipzig. It means that Celtic still have never won an away match in the Europa League.
Aside from being awarded a 3-0 win at Sipon in the 2011/12 playoffs after losing the match, Celtic are D9 L9 in their last eighteen Europa league away games (including qualifying). Celtics record against Norwegian clubs is W6 D2 L3 and away from home it is W2 D1 L2. Under 2.5 goals is at 11/10 odds* (betting odds taken on November 27th, 2018 at 8:28 pm). Across all competitions Celtic have taken a clean sheet in each of their last four away games. This has become a big pressure situation for them now.
Rosenborg v Celtic Predictions
Celtic to win: There should be enough for Celtic to get the result that they need out of this game and push qualification hopes to matchday six. Just one of the last five meetings have produced more than one goal. Look under 2.5 goals for some good value.
