CELTIC started their Champions League adventure with a defeat to Real Madrid and the bookies are banking on them finishing in the same way tonight.
Despite a spirited showing at Parkhead, the Hoops ultimately found Carlo Ancelotti’s side too hot to handle as Real netted three times in the second half.
Ange Postecoglou’s men now have nothing to play for while the Bernabeu giants need a victory to guarantee top spot in Group F.
So it’s no surprise to see Real Madrid as McBookie’s 2/9 hot favourites with the Hoops as big as 10/1.
Backing Vinicius Junior to score paid off for me at Parkhead and I fancy the Brazilian again tonight at 23/20 with Unibet.
If those odds are too short for you then McBookie price Vinicius at 9/5 for an assist.
It will be a hard night for the Celtic defenders and Moritz Jenz appeals for a card at 5/2 with Unibet.
Chelsea and Manchester City are already through as group winners so expect Graham Potter and Pep Guardiola to make lots of changes tonight.
Dinamo Zagreb can still grab a Europa League slot with a win so I’d expect them to have a go in London. Striker Bruno Petkovic is 6/5 with Unibet just to have a shot on target and that looks good.
Riyad Mahrez should come back in for City at home to Sevilla and the Algerian will be desperate for a goal after missing penalties in his last two European games.
He’s 7/4 with Bet365 for anytime scorer which looks pretty good, although Mahrez is unlikely to be on the pens now.
- Super singles: Vinicius to score (23/20, Unibet). Petkovic shot on target (6/5, Unibet).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining a Real Madrid win with over 3.5 goals pays 108/100.
