Now, let’s take a closer look at some Europa League odds and betting angles for this play-off fixture:

Celtic v Stuttgart – Thursday, 8pm

Punters can bet on Celtic v Stuttgart with William Hill

• Once again, Celtic left it late to pick up three points in the William Hill Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon, Martin O’Neill’s side had to come from two goals behind as their defensive woes continue but they remain unbeaten under O’Neill since he took over for the second time this season (W8, D2).
• Celtic games tend to produce goals, they’ve seen five of their last seven games in all competitions produce at least three goals, whilst four of those seven actually produced four or more goals, therefore Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals at EVS with William Hill looks like good value.
• Celtic have won just one of their last ten home games in the knockout rounds of major European competition (D3 L6), losing each of their last four in succession whilst conceding 2+ goals in each.
  ——————————–
• Stuttgart travel to Glasgow having won five of their last six games in all competitions (L1) but will travel with some concern having lost three of their four UEFA Europa League away games this season, their only victory away from home came at Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles.
• Just like Celtic’s recent games, Stuttgart games have also been entertaining having seen at least three or more goals in five of their last six games which gives us more reason to back goals in this one, whilst a stalemate wouldn’t come as too much of a surprise in this first leg, William Hill have a scoredraw (Both Teams To Score & Draw) priced at 10/3.
• This is Stuttgart’s first major European knockout round tie since losing 5-1 on aggregate to Lazio at the round of 16 stage of the UEFA Europa League in 2012-13. The Germans have won just one of their last eleven knockout matches (D3 L7).

Prediction: Both Teams To Score In Both Halves (10/1), Celtic 2-2 Stuttgart (10/1).
