Utrecht
Form and motivation ahead of this final European fixture are expected to be decisive, and both clearly favor Celtic.
Celtic still have everything to play for. A victory here would secure their place inside the top 24 and qualification for the next stage. They are currently tied on points for the final qualifying spot, meaning only a win will be enough to achieve their objective.
Utrecht, in contrast, have nothing left to fight for in Europe. Their campaign has been disappointing, collecting just one point from seven matches with a 3:11 goal difference, leaving them with no mathematical chance of progression.
What we say
Celtic to Win
The advantage clearly lies with Celtic, who have strong motivation, solid recent form both domestically and in Europe, and remain unbeaten in their last five matches. Utrecht, on the other hand, are struggling badly, having failed to win any of their last five matches across domestic and European competitions. With far more at stake for the hosts, Celtic look well positioned to secure a crucial victory.
