Real Madrid begin their Champions League defence in the east end of Glasgow tonight as Celtic welcome the 14-time winners of the competition back to the city where they've won two of their European crowns.
By the time the Champions League theme rings around Celtic Park the crowd will be generating enough energy to power the national grid. And these days, that energy is more than matched by the team on the pitch, leading to an air of anticipation emanating from Paradise that the Hoops can give Carlo Ancelotti's men a bloody nose this evening.
Ange Postecoglou has worked wonders to turn things back around for the Bhoys and after Saturday's 4-0 destruction of title rivals Rangers the plaudits are coming thick and fast. The likeable big Aussie is happy enough batting away the platitudes but there's a feeling that tonight could be a seminal moment in the 57-year-old's fascinating career.
On paper, the Hoops shouldn't stand a chance; Karim Benzema has scored more goals in the competition than the entrie Celtic squad have made appearances. Carlo Ancelotti has won it more times than Postecoglou has managed European group stage matches. And Real's played budget is on a different stratosphere to the Scottish champions.
However, the bookies rate Celtic's chances at under 4/1 – in theory they'd win this match once every four times it was played. That feels a little skimpy based on the two clubs' place in world football at the moment but there's potentially something very sepcial happening at Celtic at the moment and they shouldn't be written off.
Madrid suffered a shock defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol this time last season so there's more than a glimmer of hope for the hosts and it should be a cracker. Plenty of Celtic fans will be putting their money where their mouth is but the best route to profit could be on the goals market.
Goals are all but guaranteed with this Celtic team. They've scored 17 in their last 3 outings, admittedly against weaker opposition than tonight's, but they're capable of getting on the scoresheet this evening. At the other end the nagging concern is Celtic's defensive performances in Europe last season. They shipped 15 goals in 6 Europa League matches before conceding another five over two legs to Bodo/Glimt. It all makes the Over 2.5 line stand-out but that pays just 8/13 so instead look to the Asian goal line where it's set at 3.0 at odds of 2.020.
Benfica looked impressive in qualifying for the group stages with comfortable aggregat wins over Midtjylland and Dynamo Kiev. Tonight they host Maccabi Haifi who have come through three qualifying rounds to be here. The Portuguese should be able to begin with a win and short odds to do so. They scored three or more in six of their last nine and the 5/6 on them to do so again looks promising as does the 11/10 on ther being Over 1.5 Goals in the first half.
Erling Haaland needs no introduction when it comes to the Champions League and he's been on fire for Manchester City. The Norwegian hitman is just 8/11 to net at Sevilla tonight. But doubling it with a City win pays even money.

Celtic to win the corner count 21/10. WH. Real dont seem to get a lot of corners away in CL.ie last season never got many v the big 3 English teams.So looks a good shout !
WON !
Celtic v Real Madrid should have goals but one value bet stands out like a sore thumb.
** Josip Juranovic to score anytime at 15/1 with SBK. **
A monster price for the Celtic penalty kick taker. The hoops haven’t had a pen yet this season, tonight would be a great time to get one. (You can also back Celtic to miss a pen at 22/1 (bet365) if you want to cover that happening)
Celtic corner in the 1st 15 min 6/5
Over 1 Celtic corner in the 1st 15 min 9/2
Hills
Over 1 Celtic corner in the 1st 10 min 12/1 bet365
I know Celtic will be a bit more cautious tonight , but playing at home these odds are generous imo
People a bit carried away with Celtic winning which is still a tough shout as I’m not sure on the defence and tonight it will be tested. But I think they’ll score if they don’t go into it with an inferiority complex and have a go
BTTS and over 2.5
I don’t think anyone is getting carried away, but good betting opportunities for goals and corners.👍
No one is getting carried away at all.There’s no doubting who the better team is but Real Madrid hate the group stages and it’s more a case of if they turn up rather than Celtic.I think if Celtic play well they can get at least a draw who knows maybe even a win worth a play for small stakes.Real Madrid win when they need to.
Champions League
Salzburg v AC Milan 20.00 kick off 🍀
This game to me speaks goals. Both on form and with Milan just coming of a back of a fantastic derby win confidence will be high. Salzburg are not team who will just sit back there are a attacking minded team… My selections are!
Bet 1.. AC Milan over 1.5 team goals 5/6
Bet 2.. BTTS over 2.5 goals 1/1
Bet 3.. AC Milan to score both Half’s 2/1
In my option very kind odds and will no doubt drop in price closer to kick off. Good luck 🍀

Thankyou Elvis for yesterday much appreciated 🙏
Today is all about watching champions league and then the Copa semi final at 1-30am on BBC red button or sky 981.
Palmeiras need to claw a goal back at home to Phil scolari’s paranese, should be interesting.
The other semi tomorrow is a dead runner with flamengo leading 3-0 and home to Argentina Minnows Velez.
Having a go at this, hoping it’s the magic of the cup 😆 in Paraguay.
It’s on the same time as champions League so won’t be following in play
Bit of a longshot but not a forlorn hope.

Paraguayan Cup
Sporting iteno to score EVENS (HILLS) 🇵🇾 NAP 🇵🇾.
Can’t see this anywhere else right now so it’s HILLS or BTTS elsewhere at 11-10 which is not value given the small difference in price.
Bottom of table tier 2 v 5th top tier 1 hence the 9-1 on iteno to win.
Though iteno are bottom they have seen BTTS in their last 6 games, 5 of these were against teams in the top 7, including the top 3 who have the best defensive records in the league and are clear of the rest points wise.
Tacuary finished the 1st half of their season in tier 1 10th of 12 and have tightened up since the break.
They are generally poor away from home, they won 2 away recently but they were at the bottom 2 in the standings, caballero and 12 de October.
Tacuary In the last round of the cup the drew 1-1 at non league deportivo juventud which gives this a chance while iteno won 4-3 at mayo, a team they subsequently lost to in the league.
Head to head here
2014 iteno 1 tacuary 0
2015 iteno 2 tacuary 1
2021 iteno 1 tacuary 2
They drew 0-0 at tacuary in the cup also in 2021, which was a surprise and tacuary won on penalties.
Prediction, don’t care as long as sporting iteno score 😆

I disagree. I don’t think there is anything Madrid could do that Celtic or anyone wouldn’t already be aware of, it’s not like they are a surprise package. I also don’t think it’s a cup final either as we aren’t expected to win this one. The ties against the other teams will probably be the ones that decide if we progress to the next stage, this is just the biggest glamour tie/ test any club team could have in world football.

Well done winners today, some serious bookie bashing occuring 🍻✔️.
Great stuff at the end of the Celtic match, Madrid’s players seemed so taken aback with reaction of the Celtic fans at the end they went out of the way to applaud the home fans themselves.
How refreshing to see that, no trouble, no bottle throwing, no racist abuse, just a proper good occasion, except the result of course ⚽
Whilst in Naples tomorrow the away fans will be checked to see if they are wearing belts,if so they will be confiscated by the local constabulary.I hope a few fans take a piece if string!!!
Wear braces maybe.
‘rock on Tommy style’
I’m reading there was a banana thrown at a Real Madrid player by the Celtic fans so maybe a bit early to be praising those jolly craicsters
