Udinese v Celtic Tips – End of the road for Celtic

Celtic will head to Udinese knowing that Thursday’s Europa League tie is a must-win match.

After five rounds of fixtures, the Hoops trail Udinese by three points in Group I but know that a win will send them through courtesy of a better head-to-head record. When the two teams met at Celtic Park back in September, it took a late penalty from Almen Abdi to deny the Scottish Premier League giants a victory.

However, if they are to get the win they need, Celtic will have to bring an end to Udinese’s fine home record. The Italian Serie A outfit have never lost a group game in this competition and they have won both of their home matches during the current campaign, beating Atletico Madrid and Rennes. Celtic, meanwhile, have taken just one point on their travels during the group stage.

Looking at those statistics, it is hardly surprising to see Udinese being made the 4/7 favourites at Paddy Power, with a victory for Celtic priced at 5/1 and the draw 14/5. Udinese are clear 1/20 favourites with Betfair to qualify for the last 32, with Celtic priced 371/100.

The Hoops will need star striker Gary Hooper to be firing on all cylinders in Italy, and the former Scunthorpe United frontman is 8/1 (SkyBet) to be the first goalscorer here, 9/4 to net anytime. Antonio Di Natale is the man Udinese will be looking to to help see of the Scots, and he is 4/1 to break the deadlock and evens to score anytime.

Recommended Bet – Antonio Di Natale to score first and Udinese to win, 3/1 at bet365
