AC Milan vs Celtic Soccer Betting Picks – Europa League
2nd in Group H of the Europa League, AC Milan is 1 point behind the top of the standings and 1 ahead of 3rd place. The Rossoneri have started their European campaign perfectly by winning their first 2 games played against Celtic (1-3) and against Sparta Prague (3-0). On the other hand, they did less well against Lille during the last 2 days, losing heavily at home (0-3) before scraping a point in France last Thursday (1-1). Still unbeaten in the league (7 wins and 2 draws), Zlatan’s partners prance at the top of Serie A with 5 points ahead of their closest pursuer. Last weekend, they took over Fiorentina (2-0).
Very disappointing in this group of the Europa League, Celtic is dead last with 1 point on the clock. After a loss conceded at home against AC Milan (1-3), the partners of striker Odsonne Edouard took a very good point in Lille (2-2). On the other hand, they destroyed their hopes of qualifying during the last 2 days with heavy setbacks conceded against the most affordable opponent, a priori, of the group, Sparta Prague (1-4 at home and 4-1 at the outside). In the league, the Glasgow-based team is currently second but has, with 2 games behind, 11 points behind the Rangers. Last weekend, Celtic lost in the Scottish Cup Round of 16 against Ross County (0-2).
The workforce for AC Milan vs Celtic
AC Milan still has to deal with the forfeits of the tireless Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Argentine defender Musacchio and Portuguese striker Rafael Leao. At the Rossoneri, Europa League matches give rise to a turnover to rest the executives. The attacking duo could again be made up of Castillejo and Rebic, supported by Turkish playmaker Calhanoglou.
For Celtic, important midfielder Forrest, longtime absentee Michael Thompson and striker Griffiths still fill the ranks of the infirmary. Scorer twice in the last 3 matches, French striker Odsonne Edouard is present, as are his compatriots Jullien and Ntcham.
