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.
