Jablonec beat Dinamo Moscow in a friendly match (2-0) and gained a 1-0 victory over Banik Ostrava in the championship, but that was the end of the team's success. In the next three matches, the Czech club suffered three defeats and conceded nine goals. In each of them, the opponents scored at least two times. Bookmakers give a coefficient of 1.60 on the fact that hosts of the upcoming game will score more than twice. Let’s note Jablonec conceded at the very beginning of the game in all three cases. The first goal from Mlada Boleslav was conceded in the 11th minute (0-3), Celtic scored in the 12th, and Bohemians 1905 upset Jablonec’s goalkeeper in the 16th.
The teams will hold only the second head-to-head match. In the first one, six goals were scored (a 2-4 victory of Celtic). The Scots scored two goals by the 16th minute but could not maintain the 2-goal advantage for a long time, as the hosts aggrieved their goalkeeper in the 17th minute. But Celtic increased the gap again in the second half. This time the Czechs managed to score one more in response, but the last word was again for the visitors — the fourth goal was scored in the 90th minute. The result of the first match allows Celtic to play the score now. The Scots have a decent margin, and in general, they looked much better than Jablonec in recent matches. The Czechs cannot win three consecutive games, although they have scored four goals in them. On the other hand, the Celts won two matches with a total score of 10-4 after three defeats in a row. It seems that the hosts are quite capable of achieving victory in the return match. But they no longer have to hammer their opponent.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win and Under 4.5 goals scored
