THE PREDICTION

Celtic may be firing in the goals in an impressive domestic campaign but they have failed to translate that form into the Champions League, with the Scottish side sitting on just one point after their first four games. They can no longer progress out of the group, while only a win here will do if they are to harbour hopes of entering the Europa League knockout stage. Their 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in the reverse fixture on Matchday 2 will at least give them some hope of a positive result though, and given how regularly they have been scoring lately, they could be worth backing in the draw no bet market.
