Celtic should set the tempo at Celtic Park: more territory, more sustained pressure, and a steady stream of entries into the final third. Utrecht arrive in a rough spell and are likely to defend deep for long stretches, hoping to steal breaks when Celtic commit numbers forward.
The key question is how quickly Celtic turn control into a clean lead. If the opener comes early, the game can open up; if it stays level for too long, a tense draw becomes more realistic. Utrecht’s best route is a compact block and a few sharp counters, but Celtic still look the side with the clearest path to victory.
