Red Star Belgrade vs Celtic Betting Prediction, Tips & Preview
Our Red Star Belgrade vs Celtic Prediction Sees Goals at the Marakana
Celtic begin their Europa League campaign with a tricky trip to Serbia to face Red Star Belgrade. The Hoops have a poor away record in Europe, while Red Star arrive in perfect domestic form and full of confidence after a derby win over Partizan.
Europa League Betting Picks
BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals – 1.65
Aleksandar Katai Anytime Goalscorer – 3.50
Can Celtic Break Their Away-Day Curse?
Brendan Rodgers’ side fell short of Champions League qualification after losing to Kairat on penalties, but they’ve responded well domestically, thrashing Partick Thistle 4-0 in the League Cup. New arrivals Sebastian Tounekti and Kelechi Iheanacho are settling in quickly, but Celtic’s away record in Europe is a concern: three 0-0 draws in their last five continental road trips.
Red Star’s Perfect Home Record
Red Star also suffered UCL heartbreak against Pafos, but they’ve dominated at home, winning seven from seven in the Serbian league. Aleksandar Katai has been the standout star with 12 goals in 13 games, and the Marakana atmosphere will make life uncomfortable for Celtic.
Red Star vs Celtic Betting Odds
Celtic are narrow favourites at 2.50 despite their poor away form. Red Star are priced at 2.64, while the draw sits at 3.65.
Red Star Belgrade Win – 2.64
Draw – 3.65
Celtic Win – 2.50
