Rosenborg v Celtic
Europa League Group B, Thursday, November 29. Live on BT Sport
Celtic look as if they'll get a favour from Rosenborg tonight but must hope for fair play in Austria.
The Norwegians have hinted at playing a weakened team ahead of their cup final against Stromsgodset on Sunday.
However, the Hoops will have one eye on the battle of the Red Bulls as leaders Salzburg take on Leipzig.
The Scots trail the Germans on the head to head rule while Salzburg are six points clear with a 100 per cent record.
They won in Germany and should be favourites tonight but bookies fear a conspiracy theory and are a shade of odds on at 17-20 at 888sport.
Anyone looking to bet solely looking at form and stats will rub their eyes when they see Salzburg at 3-1 at bet365 with the draw paying the same price.
I don't know what the advice is here. If it's fought fairly the Austrians – and they insist they want to win – look a great bet. Even Salzburg draw no bet pays 2-1.
Rosenborg are out of Europe and want to focus on doing the double so Celtic should win but bookies aren't giving much away with 888sport going 8-13.
Celtic make their third visit to Trondheim in a year having won and drawn and they've beaten Rosenborg twice at home this season.
I like everything about the Scots apart from the price so to find some value what about Celtic -1AH at 27-25.
James Forrest drew a blank against Hamilton at the weekend after his Scotland heroics but can strike here.
Forrest's goal split the sides in the Champions League qualifiers 16 months ago and he is 23-10 to score at any time.
Recommended Bets
