FEYENOORD have been scoring for fun in the Eredivisie so Celtic face a daunting task at De Kuip tonight in their Champions League opener.
Much has been made of the Parkhead defensive crisis but they’ve actually kept clean sheets in their last three games against St Johnstone, Rangers and Dundee.
However, it would be a major surprise if the Hoops shut out a Feyenoord side who have scored 17 goals in their last three outings.
McBookie make the Dutch outfit 4/7 favourites and I like the 13/10 they offer on Feyenoord scoring in both halves.
I’d expect a flying start and backing over 1.5 first-half goals pays a decent 6/4 at Coral.
Lazio face Atletico Madrid in the other Group E game and it should be a tight game.
Diego Simone’s side usually put the boot in and over 3.5 Atletico cards pays 37/20 at Unibet.

Newcastle are back at Europe’s top table but face a daunting task qualifying from a group that also contains Milan, PSG and Dortmund.
The Magpies begin at the San Siro and will fancy their chances after Milan lost 5-1 to Inter on Saturday night.
It should be another close one and McBookie price a one-goal win for either side at 13/10.
Holders Manchester City should be far too strong at the Etihad for Red Star Belgrade.
Erling Haaland scored for fun in last season’s group stage and is 13/10 at Paddy Power for two or more goals tonight.
