APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Celtic and Stuttgart given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.

👉 Our prediction is: Celtic to win the 1st half

Celtic has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.

We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against Stuttgart, so our top tip is for Celtic to win the first half.
