Europa League
2025-12-11 - Celtic vs Roma
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Europe: Europa League
Venue: Celtic Park
Thursday 11th December 2025, 2000hrs (GMT)
Celtic’s promising five-match winning streak in all competitions was brought to an abrupt halt by the Scottish Premiership league leaders Hearts on the weekend and to make matters worse, The Bhoys suffered defeat on home soil at Celtic Park.
Celtic will hold home advantage once again on Thursday night when they play host to Serie A side Roma and Wilfried Nancy’s side will still feel they have a good chance of getting something from this encounter having picked up home wins in the league against Kilmarnock and Dundee, along with a 3-1 win away at Feyenoord on matchday 5 in the Europa League.
However, early form at home in this competition suggests the hosts may be in for a tricky time as they lost to Braga but recorded a win against Sturm Graz.
Roma will be glad to turn their attentions to the Europa League after slipping to back-to-back losses at the hands of Napoli and Cagliari in the domestic Serie A, but the visitors have produced some encouraging results in the Europa League of late.
Indeed, Roma have won their last two matches in the league phase of this season’s Europa League having accounted for the likes of Rangers 2-0 at Ibrox along with a 2-1 home win against Midtjylland on matchday 5.
In addition, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have won both of their away ties so far in this campaign, registering wins on the road at Nice and aforementioned Rangers, and no doubt I Giallorossi will be looking to add Celtic to this list on their travels.
The Betting Verdict
Celtic’s form has improved under Wilfried Nancy but can they match Roma’s quality in the final third?
The Pick :
Celtic 1-2 Roma
