Celtic v LASK | Champions League Prediction

William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Thursday’s UEFA Champions League Qualification game between Celtic and LASK.

Our Prediction: Kasper Hogh To Score Anytime (23/20), Celtic 3-1 LASK (11/1)

Celtic Park will be rocking on Wednesday night as the Hoops look to take a major step towards this season’s UEFA Champions League league phase, with Austrian champions LASK making the trip to Glasgow in what promises to be a fiercely competitive first leg.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Champions League odds and betting angles for Wednesday’s fixture:

Celtic v LASK – Wednesday, 8pm

View all available markets at William Hill

• Celtic missed out on Champions League football last season after a shock penalty shootout defeat to Kairat, and they’ll be determined to take a strong advantage to Austria next week to avoid a repeat of that disappointment.
• Martin O’Neill’s side have started the new campaign perfectly: back‑to‑back league wins followed by a 4-0 cup victory over Dundee United on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run in competitive matches to twelve.
• However, the Hoops can’t afford to get ahead of themselves. They’ve won just one of their last eight Champions League qualifiers (D3, L4) and only one of their last five such games at home. Even so, Celtic are 4/7 with William Hill to improve that record on Wednesday and put themselves in a commanding position in the tie.

• LASK have never reached the Champions League group stage and will need a clear step up in European performances if they’re to change that this season. Their last continental campaign came in 2024/25, where they failed to win any of their six Europa Conference League matches, highlighting the scale of improvement required.
• The Austrian champions have at least started their domestic season impressively, with one cup win and three league victories while conceding just a single goal — form that will give them confidence heading into their trip to Glasgow.
• Recent qualifiers suggest goals could be on the cards, with three of LASK’s last four Champions League ties seeing both teams score. William Hill price the visitors at 4/1 to upset Celtic Park and take a valuable first‑leg lead back to Linz.
