CELTIC were second best in Leipzig but will hoping the Parkhead crowd gives them wings when the Red Bull boys come calling tonight.
McBookie make the German side 23/20 favourites and plenty of punters will fancy a nibble after watching them cut the Hoops open a week ago.
But they lost at Ibrox in last season’s Europa League and you should never rule out either of the Old Firm at home on a big night.
So I’m steering away from a result and going for goals, with both teams looking open at the back in Leipzig.
You have to go to over 3.5 strikes to get to 13/8 at Betfair while over 1.5 first-half goals also appeals at 20/13 with SBK.
I also like the evens on offer at Unibet for over 9.5 shots on target as that bet landed in Leipzig last week.
Manchester City face Liverpool at the weekend so could field a weakened team in Copenhagen tonight.
Julian Alvarez might get a run out in attack and he’s 6/5 with SkyBet for anytime scorer.
Chelsea crushed AC Milan last week with the Italian champions ravaged by injury.
But Stefano Pioli’s men recovered to beat Juventus at the weekend so it should be a lot closer at the San Siro.
McBookie price a one-goal winning margin for either side at a tempting 5/4.
There’s one Premiership game tonight as Dundee United host Hibs looking to build on their 4-0 battering of Aberdeen.
The Hibees have won four in a row so it’s a hard one to call but I like the half-time draw at 11/10 with McBookie.
- Super Singles: Over 9.5 shots on target at Parkhead (Evens, Unibet). Alvarez to score (6/5, SkyBet).
- McBookie Bet Builder: Combining the HT draw with under 3.5 goals at Tannadice pays 115/100.
