The legendary Martin O'Neill took charge of Celtic for the third time in his career, and the Scottish football giants have been unbeaten since, winning eight and drawing two of their last ten matches. With a 4-2 home victory, thanks to goals from Nygren, Engels, and Trusty, Celtic defeated Dutch side Utrecht on the final day of the Europa League group stage, securing their place in the round of 32. In the 2002/03 UEFA Cup, O'Neill led Celtic to the final, where they faced and eliminated their next opponent on Thursday, Bundesliga side Stuttgart.

This tie promises to be exciting; Stuttgart are the eighth favorites in the betting odds to win this Europa League, and despite Celtic's resurgence, they will enter the match in Glasgow as the favorites with odds of +120. This is based on the fact that Sebastian Hoeness has guided Stuttgart through what, so far, has been a solid Bundesliga campaign, currently sitting in fourth place. However, when they had to leave Germany and play away in the Europa League, they lost to Roma, Fenerbahçe, and Swiss side Basel.

Our Celtic vs Stuttgart Prediction

It has been 22 years since Celtic and Stuttgart last met in Europe in a two-legged tie. In total, 11 goals were scored, and the Scottish team progressed to become UEFA Cup finalists. Once again, fate brings these two storied clubs together, both of whom, interestingly, are in commendable scoring form.

Celtic's consistent ability to score in the final moments of matches, particularly against a strike partnership as potent as Stuttgart's Undav-Demirovic pair, indicates a high-scoring match.

Our prediction for Celtic vs Stuttgart is: Over 2.5 goals.
