Our Predictions
Celtic has the home advantage and a stronger squad. The odds favor them heavily, and recent draws show they’re grinding out results, hopefully with a bit more attack this time.
Both teams have kept clean sheets in their last few outings but have also shown vulnerability at the back. Kairat’s resilience suggests they can nick a goal, making 'Yes' a strong option.
Celtic’s recent games have been tight and low-scoring, with neither side finding their clinical edge. A 1-0 or 2-0 Celtic win is a likely scenario, keeping the game under 2.5 goals.
Welcome to Extratips, your go-to spot for all things football! Today, we’re diving into a UEFA Champions League clash that has fans buzzing — Celtic hosting Kairat Almaty on August 20th at 19:00 in Europe. Celtic, the Scottish giants, haven’t exactly been setting the pitch on fire lately, stumbling to 0-0 draws in their last three outings against Falkirk, Aberdeen, and St. Mirren. Meanwhile, Kairat are coming off a couple of solid away performances, including a goalless draw against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League qualifier, showing they can be stubborn at the back. Looking at the odds, bet365 favors Celtic heavily at 1.17 for the win, with Kairat at 15.00, a long shot and a tempting upset bet. A draw stands at 7.00. Both teams to score is at 2.20, so expect some fireworks or a tight cagey affair. Celtic’s recent form suggests they’re still trying to find their groove, but their home advantage and quality should tip the scales. Kairat’s resilience and compact defense might keep the game close. Expect a dominant Celtic win, with sparse goals early on, but don’t rule out Kairat sneaking in a surprise or two. It’s shaping up to be an intriguing clash!
