Celtic vs AEK Athens Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Predictions
Celtic can take another step towards a third straight season in the group stages of the Champions League when they host AEK Athens in this third qualifying round first leg. Home advantage is going to be important as their visitors have a poor away record in this competition. The winners of this tie take on either Malmo or MOL Vidi in the play-off round and Celtic are favourites to win this tie against AEK. The Scottish champions are unbeaten in their last eight games and had a good win in their opening Scottish Premiership game at the weekend. Three out of four Champions League games this season have been won with nine goals scored and just one conceded.
AEK Athens lost in the Champions League play-off round last season and then were defeated in the last 32 of the Europa League. Not since 2006-07 have they reached the group stages of the Champions League and their record is a poor one in this competition. They have lost their last four Champions League matches and only have one win in their last 13 away games. A home win for Celtic is the tip for this game.
