FC Copenhagen hosts Celtic in the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 20th at Telia Parken (Copenhagen)
Denmark, like many other European countries, has a long winter break in football. The lack of competitive practice may affect the preparedness of Stale Solbakken’s men at the most unnecessary moment. Yes, the Lions played several friendly matches before starting in the second part of the season, but, firstly, the results were depressing, and secondly, the friendlies develop only the breathing of the players but not the game qualities.

It seems that Celtic has secured its champion’s title in the Scottish Championship, and now the Celts can give all their forces to a duel in Copenhagen. The men of Neil Lennon did not experience any significant problems in the group stage of the Europa League. They led the quartet and lost only one away game to Romanian CFR Cluj.
In my opinion, the current alignment of forces does not correspond to the coefficients that bookmakers offer. The Danes just got out of a long rest, during which they could not win in three matches in a row, including the away game of the Danish championship last weekend. Celtic is on a fantastic move, having a streak of nine away victories. Carefree Scots should gain a comfortable advantage in Denmark.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win with 0.0 handicap
