Kairat Almaty vs Celtic Champions League Bet Builder Tips: Back Monumental Away Win in Our 5/1 Treble

Celtic have made the heavy duty trip to Kazakhstan for the second-leg of their Champions League playoff tie vs Kairat Almaty.

Brendan Rodgers’ side could well be zapped of energy following their significant travel necessity but the manager will not accept that as an excuse.

Their opponents did the same trip last week and left Glasgow with a respectable 0-0 draw at Parkhead and that performance was commendable. Celts did not perform anywhere near their capacity but Kairat should be applauded.

It is now Celtic’s turn to face the conditions and what will also be a warm evening at the Almaty Central Stadium for the next 90 minutes – potentially 120 – in the Champions League.

Rodgers’ Bhoys warmed up for the tie with a 3-0 win over Livingston during which fixture the manager started a second string. Almaty, meanwhile, had the week off to prepare and will hope that does them good in front of their own support.

Leading bookmakers have the hosts as narrow underdogs to win at 17/4 while Celtic can be backed at 1/2 to leave for home with what would be a monumental victory.

• Celtic win @ 1/2
• Celtic most corners @ 2/5
• Celtic most cards @ 2/1

Celtic win @ 1/2

This would actually be a bit of a turn up for the books in Kazakhstan. Celtic have played three times in the country against Shakhtar Karagandy and twice against FC Astana but are yet to leave with a win.

Victory this evening would not only break their duck but would also seal passage to the Champions League proper and earn them the £40million that comes with it. There’s so much on the line that Celtic simply must win.

Celtic most corners @ 2/5

Celtic have a strong chance of leading the statistics on corners as you might expect the visitors to be pushing for the victory and holding the lion’s share of possession in that time.

The energy of Daizen Maeda and the endeavour of James Forrest should have them equipped enough to test goalkeeper Aleksandr Zarutskiy if he’s passed fit or his understudy Temirlan Anarbekov.

The Hoops had 15 corners last week to Kairat’s three.

Celtic most cards @ 2/1

Given the must-win nature of the game, punters can expect cards after five of them in the first-half. If Celtic find themselves down a goal or two early on they could get desperate and that is a realistic possibility.
