Team news

Mikey Johnston and Boli Bolingolo-Mbombo will both be assessed after picking up knocks during last week's first-leg. ​Christopher Jullien could make his competitive debut after impressing in a friendly against Rennes at the weekend.

Preview

The Hoops were unable to find a way through in their friendly fixture against Rennes at the weekend. Wednesday's tie, though, looks likely to be more productive for the hosts.

Celtic can be backed at 8/11 (1.73) with bet365 to score more than two goals in this game. The same firm go 8/15 (1.53) that the Hoops are ahead at both half-time and full-time.

Sarajevo scored the opening goal last week, but this assignment may prove too tough for the visitors. Indeed, bet365 offer just 8/13 (1.62) that Musemic's men fail to find the net in Glasgow and 4/9 (1.44) that Celtic (-1) beat the handicap mark.

Prediction

Celtic will be roared on by a passionate support and Lennon's men will not wish to fluff their lines in their first competitive home game of the campaign. The 11/10 (2.10) quote from bet365 for the Hoops to win both halves may well reap rewards.

Odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
