Celtic vs. LASK Odds
Game Preview
Celtic demolished Dundee United in the League Cup, 0-4, proving its excellent form ahead of the UCL qualifiers. They beat Kilmarnock 1- 5 and Dundee FC 1- 0 in the games before, both in the domestic league.
Counting in all the preseason events, Celtic scored in each event this year, and the majority of the same ended with both teams netting.
Dietmar Kuhbauer’s LASK travel to Glasgow following a historic domestic campaign that saw them capture the Austrian Bundesliga title alongside the Austrian Cup. It is by far the biggest success for this team since it was established.
The Austrian champs are in perfect form, posting 4 consecutive wins in competitive matches. To make it even more credible, they netted 16 and allowed only one goal during that span. So they are working fine on both ends of the field.
Celtic vs. LASK Head to Head
The two met in a friendly in July 2014, when Celtic smashed LASK 5-2.
Celtic vs. LASK Predictions
Both teams are solid offensively, and we strongly believe this match should bring at least three goals. Celtic always plays aggressively and openly at home; therefore, we take over 2.5 goals as the final pick.
