AC Milan vs Celtic Glasgow Betting Odds and Predictions – Europa League 2020

Unsettled Scots as a bye for the Rossoneri?

⚽️ Competition: Europa League
🔺 Date: 03.12.2020
🔻 Betting Prediction: Handicap: Victory home -1.5
🔺 Betting Odds: 2.02
🔻 Stake: 6/10

On paper, these are two of the most famous Europa League participants in the current season. Both AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow – this prediction can be ventured – have recently been far from the international glamour of bygone days. Especially the Scottish guests won’t get anything at all in the group stage in 2020/21.

After four out of six match days, the “Bhoys” are already safely eliminated. Just a single point means that the train towards the second round will definitely leave without Neil Lennon’s team. The starting position of AC Milan, who is currently second one point ahead of Sparta Prague and could buy the ticket for the next round on Thursday evening, is somewhat cheaper.

The prerequisite for this is, on the one hand, a home win against the Scottish champions and, on the other hand, a defeat of the Czech competitor, who is required by front runner Lille. If we believe the odds of the best bookmakers before the match between AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow, everything speaks for the success of the Lombards, who currently lead the table in Serie A somewhat surprisingly.

In terms of self-confidence and form, the advantages are definitely on the side of the Pioli team, who incidentally also won the first leg on the island 3-1. In view of this starting position and the mentioned fact that the green-whites only play for the “Golden Pineapple” anyway, a tip for a sovereign home win between AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow is very close.

AC Milan – Statistics & current form

For many years AC Milan fans didn’t have much reason to celebrate. At the national level, the footballers from the fashion city lost touch with the top group and on the international stage, if they were allowed to participate at all, things were also anything but good. It is all the more surprising that coach Stefano Pioli’s team is currently causing a stir in Serie A.

After nine match days, the red-blacks are still undefeated. Seven wins face two draws. As the leaders of the rankings, the Milanese, led by superstar Ibrahimovic, are already five points ahead of their pursuers. In order to confirm the positive overall picture, progress in the Europa League should also be fixed on Thursday.

Milan leads the table in Serie A with ease

There the Rossoneri is currently in second place, but only one point ahead of Sparta Prague. The last home game of the current group stage may still have a decisive character, as in the event of a victory or defeat for the Czechs in Lille, you could buy your ticket for the next round early.

Between AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow, a prediction of the handicap success of the favourite is conceivable, especially since “Il Diavolo” has so far celebrated four of the five home wins in the current season with at least two goals difference. At the weekend there was a 2-0 win against Fiorentina and in the Europa League, for example, Sparta Prague was put in their place with 3-0.

Without Ibrahimovic and Leao in the perhaps decisive group game

Although coach Pioli will most likely make one or the other change in his starting XI and apply his strict rotation principle, both the form and the motivational advantages should be clear on the side of the Italians. The self-confidence is completely different, as is the quality of the individual players on the pitch, although Ibrahimovic, Leao and Castillejo three offensive players have to pass due to injury. The ex-Frankfurt Rebic could once again come to the fore. The 18-year-old top talent Colombo can also hope for a start from the start.

The probable lineup of AC Milan:
➤ Donnarumma – Hernandez, Gabbia, Kjaer, Dalot – Tonali, Bennacer – Rebic, Calhanoglu, Diaz – Colombo

Celtic Glasgow – Statistics & current form

Without a doubt, Celtic Glasgow is one of the biggest disappointments of the current Europa League group stage. Started with the aim of reaching the main draw of the UEFA Champions League season, the Scottish figurehead failed in the second qualifying round to Ferencvaros and finally had to face the second most important European club competition after unconvincing wins against Riga and Sarajevo (both 1-0) content.

From the beginning, however, the “Bhoys” found no connection to the Europa League and therefore have no more chances for the next round after four out of six games. Three of the four mentioned games were lost. Only the leaders in Lille were able to draw a 2-2 draw, although the Scots were still 2-0 up at halftime and ultimately had to be satisfied with winning the points.

Celtic hit rock bottom

The numerous goals conceded are particularly worrying. The green-whites conceded 13 (!) Goals in four games, more than three on average per game. Because all defeats were at least two goals apart, we also consider the odds for a handicap win (-1.5) for the hosts to be very attractive on Thursday between AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow.

The mood and shape could hardly be worse in Glasgow at the moment. Only at the weekend Celtic embarrassed himself in the League Cup game at home against Ross County and was eliminated (0-2). In the league, too, only one of the last four matches was victorious. Coach Neil Lennon is more criticized than ever and we cannot assume that the buck can be knocked over on Thursday at the Guiseppe Meazza Stadium.

The probable lineup of Celtic Glasgow:
➤ Bain – Jullien, Ajer, Duffy – Elyounoussi, Brown, Ntcham, Ralston – McGregor – Klimala, Ajeti

AC Milan vs Celtic Glasgow – Direct comparison / H2H balance

The pairing AC Milan against Celtic Glasgow already has a certain tradition in the European Cup. From the point of view of the Scots, however, this is not particularly successful. Only one of the eleven matches could the “Bhoys” win. In contrast, there are three draws and seven defeats.

As mentioned, the first leg in October ended 3-1 for the Rossoneri, who celebrated their fourth win in a row against the reigning Scottish champions. In the Guiseppe Meazza, the green-whites are waiting for the first full sense of achievement after five attempts (one draw, four bankruptcies).

AC Milan vs Celtic Glasgow Betting Odds and Predictions

In the run-up to the Europa League group phase, the traditional duel between two European heavyweights in the form of AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow could still look forward to. In view of the latest developments, however, the radiance has diminished, which is particularly due to the guests from Scotland.

The “Bhoys” have already been eliminated, conceded 13 goals in the first four days of play and lost three of their four matches with at least two goals difference. At the national level, the series champion recently embarrassed himself to the bone and only won one of the last five matches. So it’s no wonder that the odds between AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow are clearly pointing towards the Italians.

Key facts – AC Milan vs Celtic Glasgow tips

🔺 Four of the five Milan home wins 20/21 came off with at least two goals difference
🔺 Celtic is already safe and has already conceded 13 goals in four games
🔺 The first leg in Scotland was a 3-1 win for the Rossoneri

Although coach Pioli has to do without important offensive players on Thursday, the form of the Lombards is currently so good and the self-confidence so high that we assume a sovereign success of the host. Incidentally, this could then be synonymous with getting ahead early. Provided that Sparta Prague loses the parallel game in Lille.

The bottom line is that we decide between AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow for the tip on a handicap success for “Il Diavolo”.
