SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Celtic’s clash with Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Celtic vs Club Brugge (Wednesday, 20:00)
Celtic will look to take what would be a huge step towards the knockout round of the Champions League by claiming a win against Club Brugge in Glasgow on Wednesday night.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have banked seven points from their opening four league phase games and a third home win in succession this midweek would surely put them on the brink of qualifying for the latter stages of Europe's premier club competition.
Meanwhile, Club Brugge are also in the qualification conversation after earning a 1-0 win over Aston Villa last time out.
Celtic are firm favourites to beat the Belgians on Wednesday night, however a more appealing angle of attack arrives in the team corners market.
The Hoops have been priced up at a best price of even-money (1/1) on Boylesports to hit six or more corners during this contest and those odds are particularly appealing.
As was the case in Celtic’s previous two Champions League home games, this fixture is likely to be played at a ferocious pace in front of what will be a passionate Parkhead crowd.
Rodgers’ relentless version of attacking football with constant movement and pressing high up the pitch can be attributed to Celtic earning 18 corners over the course of their opening two Champions League home games of the season, with his high-octane side hitting 11 against Slovan Bratislava, and then seven when sweeping aside RB Leipzig 3-1.
What’s more, the Bhoys earned four flag-kicks away from home against both Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta, so a further two corners on home turf should be achievable against inferior opposition this midweek.
It’s also worth noting Celtic have been the corner kings of the Scottish Premiership this season, covering our required 6+ line in eight of their 12 top-flight outings this term, including three of their last four.
They are averaging a massive 9.40 corners per-game at home in the Scottish Premiership this season, further demonstrating that the Glasgow giants are well capable of delivering a flag-kick count of six or more against the Blue-Black.
