Over Best Bet for Celtic vs Feyenoord
Celtic vs Feyenoord is far from being one of the best soccer games on Wednesday. However, you can expect a thrilling contest at Celtic Park since both will play with no pressure at all. The Dutch side will finish third in Group E of the UEFA Champions League no matter what while Celtic are already eliminated.
Celtic Remains Winless
In addition to being last in Group E, Celtic is one of the six teams that remains winless in the UCL. That’s not all – the Celts have conceded 14 goals in five games. Only Antwerp has conceded more with 15. In other words, they’ve nothing to lose and much to win.
Most recently, they lost 2-1 to Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. However, things were completely different in their last home match, in which they ended up defeating Hibernian 4-1 with Oh Hyeon-gyu as Player of the Match after scoring a brace.
Overall, they’ve been considerably better when playing at home, including the UCL. First, they drew 2-2 against Atletico Madrid. Later, they lost 2-1 to Lazio due to a goal in the 95th minute.
The talent is there, they just have had bad luck. I mean, Matt O’Riley and David Turnbull are having a great season. So far, the two have combined for 15 goals. Luis Palma is also having a great season with six goals in all competitions. He also leads the Scottish Premiership in assists with six.
Finally, Celtic is offering a great price in the soccer lines to win straight up. I might even say it’s disrespectful.
Feyenoord Thinking About the Eredivisie
Prior to the start of the UCL group stage, Feyenoord was considered a dark horse to win Group 3. Well, the White and Reds failed to meet expectations but at least will continue playing in an international competition since they already qualified for the UEFA Europa League.
Last Thursday, they defeated Volendam 3-1 in the Eredivisie. Santiago Gimenez and Igor Paixao saved the day with a couple of goals in stoppage time. Make sure to keep an eye on Gimenez, who has scored 20 goals in all competitions. If you were looking for a player to include in your betting online ticket as anytime goalscorer, Gimenez is your guy.

Regarding the UCL, the White and Reds lost their previous two road games, but they’ve always put up a good fight. In fact, they lost both matches – to Atletico Madrid and Lazio – by one goal.
The thing is that Feyenoord’s destiny won’t change no matter what. That means the White and Reds are currently more focused on the Eredivisie. That doesn’t mean they won’t put up a good fight in Glasgow, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Feyenoord: No Trouble Winning First Leg
Feyenoord and Celtic collided in September and the White and Reds won 2-0. It could have been 3-0 but Igor Paixao missed a penalty. You should also keep in mind that the Celts finished the match with nine players since Gustaf Lagerbielke and Odin Holm were sent off.
The total for Wednesday’s clash is set at three goals and you should include the over in your soccer picks today. That’s right, as mentioned before, both will play with no pressure at all and should score more than once.
