Celtic's Champions League campaign kicks off in Sarajevo on Tuesday night.
Now under the stewardship of Neil Lennon, the Hoops are aiming to reach the group stages of the competition for the third time in four seasons.
The Northern Irishman was appointed as permanent manager in the summer following a successful period as caretaker boss at the end of last term, marking his Lennon’s second spell as Celtic boss.
Latest odds
Lennon's men are warm favourites to take an advantage into next week's return leg at Celtic Park. Indeed, 888Sport make the Scottish champions their 1/2 (1.50) favourites to beat Husref Musemic's men.
Getty ImagesFK Sarajevo are available at 24/5 (5.80) with 888Sport to make home advantage count against the Hoops. The odds compilers offer 16/5 (4.20) that this tie remains all square after Tuesday's first-leg fixture.
Team news
Celtic will be determined to get their season off to a winning start in Sarajevo. New signings Christopher Jullien, Luca Connell and Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo could make the respective debuts for Lennon's charges.
Preview
Defensive discipline was a cornerstone of Celtic's success under Lennon last term, with the Hoops keeping nine clean sheets in their final 13 matches as they sealed a third successive domestic treble.
A clean sheet in Sarajevo could provide a pivotal platform for the Hoops to advance to the next round. As such, 888Sport offer 10/11 (1.91) that Lennon's men shut out Sarajevo and the same firm go 6/5 (2.20) that the Hoops win without conceding.
Prediction
Sarajevo have prepared for this tie with a training camp in Slovenia. Musemic's men have a positive mindset and feel that they are ready to face the challenges posed by the Scottish champions.
However, the Hoops should be able to navigate this potentially tricky tie and avoid falling at the first hurdle in this Champions League campaign.
Celtic, though, may not be at their fluent best in their first competitive outing of the season and may be more solid than spectacular in Sarajevo. As such, 888Sport's 10/11 (1.91) quote Lennon's men keep a clean sheet during Tuesday's tussle could represent real value for punters here.
