Celtic can’t boast the luxury of an established domestic lead ahead of a European fixture as they’ve become accustomed to, nonetheless results on the continent have been pleasing in Neil Lennon’s second spell in charge.
A pair of 2-1 victories in their last two group stage outings over Italian outfit Lazio have particularly caught the eye, and having already guaranteed a top-two finish, they can edge closer to ensuring top spot with another win here over struggling Rennes.
Handicap Draw -1 Goals
The French outfit prop up the table having taken just the solitary point from their four matches so far, and it’s not as if domestic results have been much better either.
Across all competitions, they’re a paltry W2-D4-L8 since the start of September, as just two of the 10 points they’ve picked up over this spell have come on their travels.
More worryingly, even the two victories both came over teams that are currently residing in the bottom quarter of Ligue 1.
Julien Stephan’s side have in fact faced defeats with increasing regularity having lost six out of eight since the start of October, including four on the trot away from home.
These include both road trips in Europe this term as they went down to both Lazio and CFR Cluj, while last term they suffered defeats by two-goal margins to lowly outfits Dynamo Kiev and FC Astana.
Celtic To Win 2-1
Celtic should really be looking to take the spoils here then. However, at short odds in the outright market, the margin of victory appeals far more. All nine of Rennes’ defeats this season have come by just the solitary strike, with four finishing 1-0, another four 2-1, while the other finished 3-2.
Moreover, excluding play-off and qualifying rounds where weaker teams can often be encountered, 11 of Celtic’s 13 victories in Europe since 2012/13 have come by just the single goal.
The most common scoreline amongst these fixtures was 2-1, occurring six times, which also appeals in the betting.
James Forest To Score Anytime
Celtic have a number of potential goalscorers within their ranks, but at the prices it’s James Forrest who stands out.
The 28-year-old has five goals from as many matches in both Europe and the Scottish Premier League, and with the in-form Mohamed Elyounoussi out injured and Odsonne Edouard – who only has three goals in his last seven appearances – at much shorter odds, the Scotland international carries greater weight.
