Celtic vs Celta Prediction

Celtic meet Celta in the UEFA Europa League league stage on 22 October 2026, priced on the match winner over 90 minutes plus stoppage time. The market has the three outcomes close, with Celta the narrow favourite at decimal odds of 2.325, the draw at 3.46 and Celtic at 2.984. The implied chance is 40.8% for Celta, 27.4% for the draw and 31.8% for Celtic, once the bookmaker margin is removed.

Across all competitions combined, Celta and Celtic have each won 1 of 2 meetings since 2002, and the last was on 12 December 2002 in the UEFA Europa League. In the league stage table both teams have 0 points from 2 games, with Celta in position 28 and Celtic in position 33. Celta lost to Juventus on 15 October 2026 and drew with Elche on 11 October 2026, while Celtic lost to Benfica on 15 October 2026.

We pick Celta to win, as the market favourite once the margin is removed. The table, the head-to-head record and recent results are all level, so we left the market chance of 40.8% unchanged, which gives a confidence of 41%. This is a modest figure, and with line-ups, injuries, suspensions and weather not available to us, the call is far from settled.
