Czech Republic side Jablonec will hope they can pile the misery on Scottish giants Celtic when the two face off in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. Jablonec themselves are coming from a 3-0 loss to Mlada Boleslav in their domestic league but that was their first loss in their last five matches, and also the only time they failed to score in that run. They have three wins and three clean sheets in five matches, a run that should give them the needed confidence going to this game. The Czech side is unbeaten in the last 10 home matches, and eight of them were wins. They have scored two or more goals in six of their last 10 home matches.

Celtic are finding it hard fashioning a winning formula and the pressure is already on for new manager Ange Postecoglou, with the Australian yet to deliver a win in three competitive matches. One of the biggest issues at the team is goalkeeping and the club is reported to have sealed a deal to sign former England international Joe Hart. They go to this game without a clean sheet in the last five matches, and four of them have ended in losses. In each of their last three matches, Celtic have conceded two or more goals and they will be playing here after elimination from the Champions League. They’ve however managed to score in each of their last four matches and that is a positive they will want to carry to this game.
