Celtic vs Utrecht Prediction (29.01.2026)

After playing seven matches in the group stage of the Europa League, Utrecht managed to earn only one point, and they no longer have any chances of progressing. This largely reduces the pressure on their game but also raises questions about their motivation for the upcoming away match. Celtic, on the other hand, continue their fight in the tournament, and a victory in this match will provide them with the necessary peace of mind.

Last week, the Daffodils secured a prestigious draw against Bologna, and they are currently on a streak of five consecutive matches in all competitions without a loss. Their form appears stable, unlike Utrecht, who are on a streak of five consecutive losses across all tournaments. These opposing trends clearly indicate which of the two teams is in better shape before the match.

Celtic have far more serious motivation, better current form, and a clear goal in this match. In light of Utrecht's poor results and lack of pressure, it is reasonable to expect the Daffodils to take advantage of the situation and achieve victory.
