Celtic head to Estonia for the second leg of their Champions League qualifying second round match played on Tuesday evening. Punters looking to place their bets on this match should keep in mind it carries a 6.00pm kick-off and will be shown live on Celtic TV. The Bhoys aim to take a step closer to reaching the money-spinning group stages of UEFA’s premier competition. Here are our Nomme Kalju v Celtic betting tips.

The visitors appear to have one foot in the next round thanks to a stunning 5-0 win over the same opponent in Glasgow on Wednesday. A tight, nervy match was expected with the Estonian champions expected to shut up shop and make life difficult for The Hoops, but it didn’t go to plan. The Scottish treble winners strolled to a 5-0 victory and can now start planning for a third-round match vs Tel Aviv or Cluj.

Celtic Impress With 5-0 Home Win

You couldn’t help but be impressed by how Neil Lennon’s Celtic side handled themselves on Wednesday. It was a game they were expected to win with a bit to spare but they deserve credit for beating anyone at this level by five goals. With the Scottish Premiership season getting underway on Saturday, the aggregate score means they can afford to field a weaker side and rest a few of their star names ahead of the visit of St Johnstone.

Even if Lennon does decide to rest a few it’s unlikely to knock the team off their stride as they have already proven they are streets ahead of Nomme Kalju. There’s a strong argument to be made that Celtic and Rangers shouldn’t be in the early rounds of the Champions League and the Europa League and that stance has been backed by results so far. Rangers beat St Josephs 10-0 in the first qualifying round and Old Firm rivals Celtic have hit 10 goals in three games against Sarajevo and Nomme Kalju.

Bigger and better things will come for both teams, but it does give Celtic a chance to raise the fitness levels of their squad in plenty of time for the new season. Will we see another free-scoring win for The Bhoys on the road? Traders think it’s likely and, having seen nothing to convince them Pink Panther are capable of a fightback, the money men are confident enough to offer the away day as odds-on favourite. That will put some off supporting the away win, but there’s more value to be had in the specials and that will catch the eye of backers.
