While the Hoops’ home record is commanding, their guests have failed to win any of their three qualifiers on the road so far this campaign.

Not only can the home crowd therefore feel confident of a win, they should be expecting plenty of goalmouth action considering their team’s prolific form so far this campaign.

Predictions

Having scored 25 goals in just seven fixtures this season, odds of 7/4 (2.75) seem generous on Celtic coming out on top in a match featuring at least three goals.

That bet looks particularly attractive considering Cluj are more than capable of contributing as well, having found the net in each of their last nine matches in all competitions.

All odds correct at time of publish. Please gamble responsibly.
