Celtic and Celta Vigo clash in search of European points

Both teams need a win at Celtic Park after losing their opening two matches in the Europa League.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 20 October 2026

Celtic host Celta Vigo on Thursday evening as both clubs try to secure their first points in the league phase. Each side lost their first two fixtures, putting early pressure on their continental campaigns. Punters looking at the betting markets can find odds of 63/100 on both teams scoring with 1xBet.

Recent domestic form

Celtic bounced back from a heavy defeat by thrashing Hearts seven to one in their last outing. Several attacking players found the back of the net to boost confidence within the squad. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo recorded a two to one victory over Alaves following a strong run of domestic results.

Defensive vulnerabilities

Defensive frailties have hurt both clubs during their European matches so far. Celtic conceded seven goals across their first two fixtures while Celta failed to pick up any points. Punters should note that defensive worries make the market for goals very appealing for this fixture.

Betting implications

The price of 63/100 for both teams to score reflects the defensive frailties shown by both sides in Europe. Backing goals at both ends looks like the most logical betting angle for this fixture.

What it means for a bet

Back both teams to score at 63/100 because both defences have struggled badly in Europe.
