Prediction: 2-1
Celtic
Lille and Celtic go head to head at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in what is expected to be a very entertaining game. Les Dogues impressed in the opening match of their Europa League campaign, with the team rolling over Sparta Prague 4-1 on the road, and, no doubt, the hosts are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Celtic. The Ligue 1 side look sharp in front of goal, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Celtic.
The Hoops, on the other hand, were anything but good in a 3-1 loss to Milan, and given their three-game winless run in all competitions, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the Ligue 1 side. Leigh Griffiths is pushing for a start for the visitors after scoring as a substitute in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Aberdeen at the weekend. A man to watch in the home team will be Turkey international Yusuf Yazici, who scored a hat-trick against Sparta.
