On Wednesday night, Celtic host Rosenborg at Parkhead in the Champions League second qualifying round.
Celtic made it through to this stage with a comprehensive 6-0 aggregate victory over Alashkert. Rosenborg defeated Icelandic side Valur in the previous round 3-2 on aggregate to set up this meeting.
The home side’s recent record in the Champions League is not great, as the Hoops have lost six of their previous nine outings in Europe’s elite competition. In fact, the two wins against Alashkert ended a four-game losing run for the Scottish champions in the competition.
The Hoops have also suffered defeat in three of their last four outings in Europe’s elite competition.

Their recent games in the competition have also been low scoring, with five of their last six games producing under 2.5 goals after 90 minutes.
The visitors have a woeful away record in the Champions League, failing to win in their last eight games on their travels while suffering six defeats in the process. The Norwegian side has also scored just once in their last four away games in this competition.
Prediction
Celtic win and/or under 2.5 goals
