AEK Athens vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Predictions
AEK Athens will be delighted to have come back from Scotland with a 1-1 draw. They went 1-0 down in the Champions League third qualifying round first leg but a Klonardis goal a minute from half-time got them back in the game. Now they host Celtic in the second leg knowing their opponents have to score a goal to have any chance of progressing into the play-off round. AEK Athens aren't in the best of form though with only one win in their last six games and 10 of their last 11 games have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. European form has seen AEK go six Champions League games without a win and the last two at home have both ended in defeat.
Celtic have only had one win in their last four games and followed the home draw with AEK with a 1-0 loss away at Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. They have only won one of their last four away games in the Champions League, a 3-0 win over Alashkert in the first qualifying round this season. The other three games have seen them score just once and ten of their last 16 away Champions League games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. This should be a tight game with Celtic needing to get a goal but the home side knowing a goalless draw would get them through. Go for under 2.5 goals in this match.

Our AEK Athens vs Celtic Prediction
Celtic were held to a 1-1 draw at home by AEK Athens and will need to score a goal to have any chance of making it through to the play-off rounds of the Champions League. The Scottish champions lost at the weekend and take on an Athens side also not in the best of form. A bet on under 2.5 goals looks the one to be on here.
