-------------------------------
Celtic and Roma meet in Glasgow with both sides needing points to strengthen their push for a Europa League knockout spot. The Scottish club, now led by new management, sit two points behind the Italians. With both teams still uncertain of a top-24 finish, the stakes are high heading into this clash.

Team Analysis:
Celtic aim to build on their recent Europa League win over Feyenoord, though new manager Wilfried Nancy faces pressure after losing his first match in charge. Historically, Celtic have struggled against Italian sides, winning just twice in 16 games, both against Lazio. Roma arrive confident after recent victories over Celtic’s domestic rivals and a first home win in Europe, looking to strengthen their push toward the top eight.

Player Situation:
Celtic are set to deploy their preferred 3-4-2-1 formation despite key absences, including Marcelo Saracchi and other long-term injured players. Hatate and Nygren, the team’s joint-top scorers in the Europa League, are expected to lead the attack. Roma will be without striker Artem Dovbyk, but Gasperini may adjust his lineup with Wesley returning and either Dybala or Baldanzi starting as a false nine.

Result Prediction:
Celtic have never drawn in their last 19 Europa League home games, and that streak is likely to continue. Despite recent challenges, Roma appear more advanced in their rebuilding process than Nancy’s developing Celtic side. This contrast sets up a clash between Celtic’s historic consistency at home and Roma’s tactical progress.

Predicted Result: Celtic 0-1 AS Roma.
