"Celtic might have opened the New Year facing a major battle in the race to defend their Premiership crown this season, Martin O'Neil's side have embarked on a stellar purple patch. Last seen over the weekend snatching a thrilling last-gasp 3-2 victory away at Kilmarnock, the Scottish giants are riding a major wave of momentum. Signing off their Europa League group stage adventure with an action-packed 4-2 win against Utrecht, Celtic have now won all of their previous five appearances across all competitions."
"As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways over the weekend as they secured a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Koln, Stuttgart are enjoying their own extended flurry. Extending on their DFP Pokal adventure on February 4th as they claimed a 3-0 romp away at Kiel, Sebastian Hoeneb's side have won five of their previous six appearances across all competitions."
Celtic host Stuttgart in a Europa League fixture. Celtic have won five consecutive matches across competitions, including recent 3-2 Kilmarnock and 4-2 Utrecht victories, but they lost 3-1 to Rangers and have only one clean sheet in the last seven matches. Jota and Alistair Johnston remain sidelined with long-term injuries. Julian Araujo starts at right-back and Kasper Schmeichel will start in goal. Stuttgart have also won five of six recent matches, including 3-1 vs Koln and 3-0 at Kiel, signaling strong form. Bookmakers offer 2/3 odds for both teams to score.
