Celtic vs Besiktas Tips
Here are our betting tips for Thursday's Europa League clash, along with the best free bets to use on them.
Tip 1: Camilo Duran to score a goal
Duran has scored seven goals in 12 Premiership appearances this season, the second-highest total in the competition, from 38 shots, including 20 on target.
He also leads the league with five assists, highlighting his importance to Celtic’s attacking play.
The 2/1 looks a decent price for their main goal threat against a Besiktas side missing suspended defender Umit Akdag, despite Celtic’s poor European form.
Tip 2: Dusan Vlahovic to have 3 or more shots on target
Vlahovic has scored seven goals in eight Turkish league appearances this season and averaged 1.75 shots on target per game, with 14 in total.
Celtic have conceded an average of 20.7 shots and 5.7 on target across their three Europa League matches, suggesting opportunities should be there for the Besiktas striker.
The 3/1 for three or more shots on target is a high bar, but Vlahovic is expected to lead the line against a defence that has been under pressure.
Tip 3: Mika Baur to be carded
Baur has committed 18 fouls in 10 Premiership appearances, averaging around two per 90 minutes – the highest rate in the Celtic squad – and has also picked up two bookings.
Expected to start in midfield, he’ll need to contain Besiktas’ creative threats, including Trossard and Cerny, while Celtic’s tendency to chase games in Europe could leave him under pressure.
The 7/2 is for an anytime card, the same market covered by our daily card betting tips.
