Celtic take on the visitors Alashkert at the Celtic Park in the second leg match of UEFA Champions League 1st qualifying round. The match will be played in Glasgow on Wednesday, July 18th. The first leg match ended with a 3-0 win for Celtic.
Celtic has had no real competition in their local championship for the last several years. They usually don`t show much of a performance on the international scene but often get to the group stages. This summer the Celts had 5 friendly matches 4 of which were victories and only 1 was a defeat. In these matches the team scored 13 goals and conceded 3. It was not a surprise to see Celtic win the first leg match in Armenia because the level gap between the clubs is quite big. Talking about home crowd performances Celtic has had 14 matches at the Celtic Park this year and lost only one of them.

Alashkert is a champion and a big club in Armenia but the level of their national championship and the level of the European scene are two different things. It`s worth noting that the team was really unlucky with drawing Celtic in the first qualifying round of Champions League. But what`s really interesting is that Alashkert has not been that balanced in their local championship recently and has a result of only 4 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw in 2018.
The Scots beat the Yellows in Armenia easily so we should expect a big confident win from them in front of their home crowd too.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win with -2.0 handicap.
