The match

A chance to become the first Bosnian team to reach a UEFA group stage beckons for FK Sarajevo, but the task can’t be big enough. They carry a 3-1 deficit to Scottish Champions Celtic in the second leg of the first qualifying round. That the win came after Celtic went behind in Sarajevo, makes it even more memorable for the Hoops. Celtic also have a 13-match unbeaten stretch in home qualifiers in the UEFA competitions (W11, D2), which further headlines their chances. The winner gets a chance to face either Nomme Kalju or Shkendija in the second round, which could be a virtual walkover. The loser would move down to the Europa League in the third qualifying round, so there is a lot at stake for both the sides. Sarajevo have lost their last three matches, including friendlies, and have conceded at least two goals in each of those. There is still a bit of rustiness in the squad, as they build up to the new season. Their record in the competition isn’t something to boast, as Sarajevo have now lost their last six matches in the Champions League. Their last win has come in 2007 qualifiers, which was away from home. They have kept just one clean sheet in their nine matches in the competition so far, conceding 13 goals in total.

Key Statistics

  • Celtic’s last five matches including friendlies have all been level at the break.
  • Celtic are unbeaten at home in 13 UEFA qualifiers (W11, D2).
  • Sarajevo haven’t conceded a first-half goal in 13 of their last 15 matches in all competitions, including friendlies.

The bet of our experts

Celtic will be determined to continue their winning momentum from the first leg and pick up a home win over Sarajevo. The first-leg win incidentally is Celtic’s first in the competition for four games (W1, D2, L1). They remain unbeaten in three home fixtures (W2, D1) in the competition and look good to continue that record against Sarajevo. Expect goals to flow in this game as well, just like the first leg.
