Rosenborg – Celtic Prediction & Picks (01.08.2018)

Wednesday evening at 19:45, Rosenborg tries the impossible mission to remove Celtic from the Preliminary Round 2 of the UEFA Champions League. In the first hand it was 3-1 for Scots, on their own, after the Norwegians managed to open the score on “Hampden Park”. On the way back, we expect the northern team to dominate the hostilities.

Celtic is recognized for her own field strength and Brendan Rodgers’s team is very valuable. However, the 2.20 victory for white-green does not seem justified. Rosenborg played well on the tour, but had a second-half fall, which cost him the game and possibly the qualification. Celtic comes to Trondheim with no base players like Bitton, Dembele and Griffiths, while Rosenborg is without Konradsen. On “Lerkendal,” Rosenborg will have the fans and the turf on his side, which can make the difference at the end.

Rosenborg is very strong on his own.

In the 5 direct matches between the two bands so far, the hosts have won three times, the guests once and a match ended in a draw. Rosenborg won the last two official games on his own, 3-1 with Valur (UCL) and 2-1 with Tromso (championship). Celtic comes after inconclusive matches on foreign ground, where he evolved in front of modest rivals in July. The move from Rosenborg is the hardest test that the white-eyed players have played this summer. Because they have a good advantage, the Scots could make a stand-in game, which would be advantageous to us about the chosen prognosis.

Rosenborg opened the tour through Meling (16), but Edouard equaled Celtic just before the break (43). It was the psychological moment of the game, because Rosenborg entered the booths in a bad mood and received the goal in the first half of the second half! The score of 3-1 was also set by Edouard, in front of 50,000 excited spectators. No less than 20 stitches at the goal were Celtic, while the Nordic scored the only attempt at the goal. Without counting the offensive in the first match, Rosenborg has to change the tactical register in the second hand and the odds for a good result of the hosts are very generous.
