Celtic and Celta de Vigo meet in the Europa League after coming through their latest matches in very different shape. Celtic have just thrashed their league opponents 7-1, while Celta de Vigo have just won narrowly 2-1. Celtic are still strong in their own league, scoring 23 and conceding 5 in 9 matches, but in Europe they have lost the game in which they faced a team from a major league. Celta de Vigo, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last five in La Liga and have just thrashed opponents 5-0 at home; their defence is tight but their attack is not as sharp as last season. Neither side has a clear advantage in this pairing. In 100 matches, 27 ended in a draw and 38 were decided by a single goal. Celta de Vigo are likely to sit back and wait to counter, while Celtic will have to be the ones to open up and attack, and this kind of game may finish with few goals, as the pattern of play on both sides suggests.
