Benfica arrive in this Europa League round 2 fixture having won 4 of their last 5, scoring 12 goals in that run and keeping 3 clean sheets. Celtic, by contrast, have lost 3 of their last 5, conceding 7 goals and scoring only 4. The visitors have also failed to score in 2 of their last 5 outings. Celtic scored in only 3 of their last 5 matches, and their lone Europa League outing this season ended in a 1-3 home defeat to Ferencvaros. Benfica put 2 past AC Milan away from home in the same competition. Celtic travel without Alistair Johnston and Callum Osmand. The gap in quality and current form points firmly to a multi-goal Benfica win. AH -1.5 at 1.68-1.71 is the call.
