Celtic vs AC Milan
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, October 22, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK
Location: Celtic Park, Glasgow.

The most anticipated clash of this Thursday's Europa League will be in Scotland, where Celtic host AC Milan.

The two teams enter the duel exhausted after the great derby played in their national leagues.

Celtic were unsuccessful with Glasgow Rangers, while AC Milan beat Inter Milan.

However, it is questionable whether the Rossoneri will use the strongest team for this match, as Serie A is the men's focus this season.

Still, the duel should be spectacular. In terms of odds, the visitors are considered favorites at odds of 1,85, which is far from a good choice if you ask us.

Celtic vs AC Milan head to head

In the past, there have been eight previous meetings between Celtic and AC Milan. The Italian national team has much better stats, but keep in mind that the vast majority of their victories were achieved during the “golden age”, when they were a dominant force in Europe.

Celtic won just one game against AC Milan, but lost five. The total number of goals scored is 14, with an average of just 1,75 per game.

The most recent h2h was at this stadium in 2013. The Rossoneri won 3-0.

Celtic v AC Milan Prediction

Although the current classification is not very dramatic, Celtic FC is not having a good season. The first surprise was the elimination from the UEFA Champions League qualifying round against Ferencvaros.

Last weekend's Old Firm defeat to Rangers certainly had a big impact on team morale.

Neil Lennon is going to be under a lot of pressure in the coming weeks, that's for sure. The good news is that summer acquisitions look very promising. Klimala and Ajeti scored a total of eight goals, which is not bad for the newcomers.

AC Milan have been on fire as of late, led by Swedish icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored both goals against Inter Milan on Saturday. It is the only team from Italy that has maintained a 100% win rate after four rounds.

As mentioned above, it remains unclear whether Stefano Pioli will use Scotland's best players.

He stirred things up in the final Europa League qualifier against Rio Ave, with Daniel Maldini leading the charge.

We expect a disputed game in Glasgow, a draw and few goals.
