Celtic vs Utrecht Match Preview

Celtic vs Utrecht – Tips, Predictions & 17/1 Bet Builder

Europa League | 29 January | 20:00
Venue: Celtic Park


Celtic vs Utrecht Preview

Celtic extended their unbeaten run to five matches in all competitions under interim boss Martin O’Neill after earning a lively 2–2 draw away at Hearts last weekend. Since replacing Wilfried Nancy, O’Neill has overseen Premiership wins over Dundee United and Falkirk, as well as a Scottish Cup victory against Auchinleck Talbot, restoring confidence and momentum around Celtic Park.

However, Celtic know that only a win in this final league-phase fixture is likely to be enough to secure progression into the Europa League play-off round, adding clear urgency to Thursday night’s contest.

FC Utrecht travel to Glasgow with nothing but pride at stake. Ron Jans’ side sit third from bottom of the Europa League table, having collected just one point from seven matches, courtesy of a 1–1 draw at home to Porto.

Utrecht’s overall form is equally concerning. The Dutch outfit have lost their last five matches in all competitions and have suffered six defeats in seven Europa League fixtures, making this a daunting assignment at a hostile Celtic Park.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Celtic Team News

  • Out: Alistair Johnston, Callum Osmand, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota, Kelechi Iheanacho, Marcelo Saracchi

  • Suspended: Reo Hatate

  • Doubt: Kieran Tierney

If Tierney misses out, Liam Scales is expected to shift to left-back, with Dane Murray coming into central defence. Daizen Maeda should again spearhead the attack.

Possible XI:
Schmeichel; Donovan, Trusty, Murray, Scales; Engels, McGregor, Nygren; Hyun-Jun, Maeda, Tounekti


FC Utrecht Team News

  • Out: Victor Jensen

  • Doubts: David Min, Emirhan Demircan, Mike Eerdhuijzen

With defensive injuries mounting, Nick Viergever may be required to start at centre-back, while Utrecht are expected to sit deep and play on the counter.

Possible XI:
Barkas; Horemans, Didden, Viergever, El Karouani; Engwanda, Bozdogan; Cathline, De Wit, Blake; Rodríguez

Celtic vs Utrecht Prediction

With qualification on the line, Celtic’s motivation, home atmosphere and recent resurgence under Martin O’Neill should prove decisive. Utrecht’s poor European form and lack of confidence make it hard to see them coping with the intensity at Celtic Park, especially if the hosts score early.

Conclusion

Celtic’s improved form and clear incentive to progress should drive a front-foot performance against a struggling Utrecht side with nothing to play for. Backed by a raucous Celtic Park crowd, the Scottish champions look well placed to secure the win they need and keep their Europa League campaign alive.
