Europa League Celtic vs Rosenborg
I wanted the fate that after meeting in the second qualifying round of the Champions League where Celtic moved forward to fall in the next round at the feet of Greek champion AEK, Scots and Rosenborg were back in Group B of the Europa League, composed also by Leipzig and Salzurbo, in a group of teams that should provide a lot of interest in the competition for the first two places.
Celtic come here following a game where they lost points to the Scottish Premiership at St. Mirren, where they drew 0-0.
In that match, the Glasgow team played in numerical inferiority from minute 37, by expulsion of Olivier Ntcham.
In overall terms, they are in 2nd place, with the same 10 points as Livingston (3rd), 5 away from the leadership, occupied by Hearts.
Next Sunday, Kilmarnock is the next opponent in the second consecutive away game for the league that Celtic has.
Rosenborg had to knock out Cork City and Shkendija in qualifying for the Europa League, having been knocked out of the Champions League by Celtic, as I said.
Norwegians are, in theory, the weakest link in the group, but they have a strong desire to surprise and prove that they are not counted fava.
It is a great moment of form that the team of the city of Trondheim arrives at this encounter. 7 consecutive wins, 11 games without knowing the taste of defeat, which happened last time in this same stadium in Glasgow.
Most recently, Rosenborg beat Valerenga 3-2 to the championship, where he leads with 2 more points than Brann 8 days from the end.
In the next round, they will be joined by Sarpsborg, who also have European duels in Turkey, against Besiktas.

In addition to wanting to take advantage of the confrontation between the two favorites ahead (Leipzig and Salzburg), Celtic and Rosenborg have some accounts here to adjust, by the Norwegians.
I believe they both try to win the game to start the match well in this Europa League, both teams have offensive arguments to hurt the other, although of course Celtic take some favoritism to act before its public and to count on some more experienced players.
Still, I do not anticipate great facilities and believe in an exciting game with goals.
Betting Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.73
