Celtic – Europa League Form and Betting Odds

• Celtic’s inconsistent season continued with Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Falkirk, marking their sixth loss in ten matches across all competitions, with Martin O’Neill’s side now desperate to produce a response in front of their own supporters.
• The Hoops have lost all three Europa League matches this season, another defeat here would see them suffer four straight losses in major European competition for the first time since December 2017.
• Both of Celtic’s Europa League home fixtures this term have seen goals at either end, with defeats against Ferencváros and Celta Vigo leaving the Scottish champions without a point, although the hosts can be backed at 2/1 with William Hill to end their losing run.

Besiktas – Europa League Form and Betting Odds

• Besiktas arrive in Scotland following Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Kasımpaşa, with Vincenzo Italiano’s side winning just two of their last five Turkish Super Lig fixtures (D1, L2), although their European performances have been much more convincing.
• The Turkish visitors are unbeaten in their opening three Europa League matches (W2, D1), scoring nine goals during that run, while all three fixtures have featured both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals, making the goals markets particularly interesting.
• Besiktas have won just four of their nine away matches across all competitions this season, although they secured an impressive 3-2 victory at Hoffenheim on their previous European trip, with the visitors available at 11/10 with William Hill to maintain their unbeaten start.
