Celtic vs AZ Alkmaar 18.08.2021
Celtic have had a new lease of life. After going five games without a win including the earlier rounds of the Champions League Qualification matches, they have now won four on the trot, including a terrific double over Czech side Jablonec to book this date with Alkmaar for a chance to earn a slot in this season’s Europa League
AZ Alkmaar did well to finish third in the Dutch top-flight last season. They have had a relatively solid pre-season but a 1-0 loss to Waalwijk on the opening day of the new season is not how they envisioned the new season starting.
Both of these teams have shown an affinity towards playing all-out attacking football and with so much at stake we expect plenty of action on both ends which could yield plenty of corners here.
Main tip: Over 9.5 Corners (go to tip details)
