Europa League: Celtic vs Stuttgart 19/02/2026

Betting on Goals

One of the strongest matchups of the Europa League between clubs that have ambitions of going far in the competition.

Celtic are having a strange season with ups and downs, recently getting difficult wins while showing character. In their European home matches the atmosphere is very supportive and always pushes the team, who rarely fail to score even when a match turns against them. Defensively they are very average this season and suffer even in the league, where lately they win with scores like 3-2/2-1.

Stuttgart are in good form, have climbed into the top 4 of the Bundesliga and enter the competition with high targets. They had the best attack in their group, score consistently (often more than one goal), but show defensive gaps as well (also in the league where they never keep a clean sheet away from home).

Matches between Scottish and German teams are never boring. I believe the enthusiasm of the hosts will give them at least one goal, but their defensive weakness will also give many chances to the efficient visitors.

Odds in line with the teams statistics allow the risk on a simple goal/goal prediction in a match that could of course also go over 2.5 goals
