Celtic F.C. welcome the visitors Valencia CF in the Europa League Play-offs – 1/16 Finals. The match will be held on Thursday, February, 14th, at the Celtic Park (Glasgow).
Celtic F.C. are facing Valencia CF in the Europa League 1/16 final. Despite some squad issues, the hosts are riding on the streak of wins ‘to nil’ in the national league and cup fixtures with a solid breakaway from the pursuers – so, they may play their best at the Celtic Park tomorrow. The Scottish club’s main advantage is in their fans’ support. This will be a crucial encounter – the homeside need to сreate a reserve for the reverse leg, and, possibly, win home. As far as Celtic’s European run is concerned, in the group stage, they suffered one loss on their turf – the group was not that strong indeed. The other thing is that the Celts boast their great from, which is not true of the visitors.

Valencia failed to win any of the Champions League trips. Needless to say, they are typical Primeira homeplayers. In nine latest outings, Valencia registered only one win over Celta Vigo. With due attitude, Getafe and Alaves may win the guests. The Spaniards will not play their best tomorrow. They will be happy to score; if they don’t net – they will count on the second leg. The main Valencia’s objective is not to allow, while their defense is struggling lately. Marcelino’s side have a great potential, one may judge by their play against Barcelona, but we wouldn’t suggest betting on their win in the first leg.
Сeltic qualified to the play-offs largely by chance, their opponents were much weaker than the Spanish outfit. Valencia started to score more, compared to the autumn fixtures, but they are more leaking now either. The guests will not rush forward; they may possibly play defensive football tomorrow. The underscoring outcome looks logical. However, the Celts’ single chance to progress to the next stage is to play well on their soil. We assume that the hosts will not lose at the Celtic Park.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win or Draw.
