ANGE POSTECOGLOU is still waiting for his first win as Celtic boss and will be desperate to deliver it against Jablonec tonight.
Having crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers, it’s imperative the Hoops reach the Europa League group stage.
But getting there won’t be easy with the winner of this tie facing Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in the play-off round.
The bookies fancy Celts to win in the Czech Republic tonight as they are 20/21 favourites at McBookies with Jablonec as big as 14/5.
Keeping clean sheets has been the biggest problem so far for Postecoglou, making both teams to score a good option tonight at evens with Mansionbet.
Celtic have looked decent going forward and Jablonec lost 3-0 to Mlada Boleslav at the weekend so over 2.5 goals also appeals at 11/10 with Betfair.
St Johnstone face a daunting task in their Europa League opener as they face Galatasaray in Turkey.
They are McBookie’s 9/1 outsiders but can take heart from the fact Gala were battered 7-2 on aggregate by PSV in the Champions League qualifiers.
So it might be worth backing Saints to score, which is evens at McBookie, while BTTS pays 6/4 at Mansionbet.
Aberdeen travel to Iceland in the Conference League qualifiers to face Breidablik and the half-time draw looks good to me at 5/4 with McBookie.
Stephen Glass’ new-look side have impressed and are McBookie’s evens favourites but Breidablik dumped out Austria Vienna in the last round so it won’t be easy.
Hibs have an even tougher task against Croatian side Rijeka and goals look on the cards at Easter Road.
The Hibees won 3-2 at Motherwell on Sunday while Rijeka warmed up with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Dinamo Zagreb.
So I fancy BTTS at 6/7 (SportNation) while over 2.5 goals pays 6/5 at Paddy Power.
Super Single
- Half-time draw in Iceland (5/4, McBookie)
Deadly Double
- BTTS at Hibs and Jablonec (263/100, SportNation).
McBookie Bet Builder
- Doubling over 2.5 match goals in Jablonec with over 0.5 first-half goals pays 120/100
