Celtic v FK Sarajevo Betting Tips & Predictions – Champions League 17th July
Here are our top Celtic v FK Sarajevo betting tips. The second legs of the Champions League first round qualifying matches take place this midweek before we get into the Europa League ties on Thursday. It’s a busy few days for football fans and although it may not be the most glamorous fixture list we’ll see this season, it does serve as an indication that the new season is fast approaching.
It’ll also be music to the ears of football punters who will welcome the chance to place an accumulator bet, targeting a big price pay-out for small stakes. Accas remain the favourite bet with followers of the beautiful game and landing one this early in the season could cover your bets until the end of the season, with a few shrewd selections.
Celtic Have a Two-Goal Cushion
We get started on Tuesday, but our game of note takes place on Wednesday at 7.45pm and that’s where we’ll focus our interests. Celtic take on Premier League BH champions FK Sarajevo in the second leg and they do so with the benefit of a two-goal cushion behind them, as well as three away goals on side. The Hoops claimed a crucial win on the road last Tuesday, despite following behind early in the contest, and that means they need only see the game out to ensure their name is in the hat for the second qualifying round.
The Giants set-up to hit their opponents on the counter-attack last week and it worked when Oremus hit an opening goal with 29 minutes on the clock. It came against the run of play and was a bit of a shock to the Celtic fans who had made the trip, as well as those watching the live TV pictures back home courtesy of Premier Sports, but it seemed to jolt Celtic to life. The Glaswegians have suffered some embarrassing upsets in this competition over the years but weren’t in the mood to fall victim to another shocker.
Johnston, who was the standout player of the evening for the green and white hoops, sent home an equaliser on 35 to send the teams into the break level at 1-1. Whatever was said by returning manager Neil Lennon at half time obviously had the desired effect as the visitors re-emerged from the tunnel a more determined side. They took the lead through Eduard shortly after the re-start and looked on-course to take a 2-1 lead back to Glasgow but a third from Sinclair near the end buried to tie, ensuring Celtic put one foot in the next round.
