Celtic to win - 5/4

Celtic should approach their trip to Zagreb with plenty of confidence as they have won nine of their last 10 games in all competitions and are still in with a fighting chance of finishing in the top eight in the UEFA Champions League, which would guarantee them a place in the knockout stages.

The Hoops are 20th in the 36-team table but are just two points behind Monaco in eighth going into this week's fixtures so a victory on Tuesday would keep them in contention for the top eight with games still to come against Young Boys and Aston Villa.

Celtic are running away with things domestically as they sit nine points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership following their third straight win to nil on Saturday with a 3-0 home success over Hibernian.

Tuesday's clash in Europe will be a much trickier affair but Brendan Rodgers' side can again secure another impressive result in this competition after draws with Atalanta and Club Brugge and a 3-1 home win over RB Leipzig in their last three outings.

Dinamo Zagreb have had mixed fortunes in the UEFA Champions League this season. The Croatian side have beaten Salzburg and Slovan Bratislava away, while they drew at home with Monaco and lost last time to Borussia Dortmund, with all of those results coming after their 9-2 humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich on Matchday One.

The hosts are 23rd in the table, just a point behind Celtic, but they have failed to win any of their last five games in all competitions after a 1-1 draw at home with Slaven Koprivnica in the Croatian top flight on Friday.

Under 2.5 goals - 1/1

Celtic have not had any problems scoring goals lately with the Glasgow giants racking up 14 in their last five games but they are unlikely to find it as easy breaching the Dinamo Zagreb defence compared to recent comfortable wins over Hearts, Ross County and Hibernian.

This looks set to be a tight, tense affair with the visitors capable of edging to victory via a narrow scoreline rather than there being a goal-fest at Stadion Maksimir.

Dinamo have only managed one goal in their last four outings and the hosts' last two games have featured under 2.5 goals, while two of Celtic's last three UEFA Champions League games have also had less than three goals in.

Kyogo Furuhashi to score anytime - 7/4

Kyogo Furuhashi should return to the Celtic starting line-up on Tuesday after being named on the bench against Hibernian at the weekend.

Rodgers opted to rest Kyogo for the majority of Saturday's clash in order to keep him fresh for the big Dinamo game but he still made an impact when he came on, netting Celtic's third goal with 84 minutes on the clock to make sure of the three points.

The 29-year-old has hit eight goals this season, including one in the UEFA Champions League when he scored in the Matchday One 5-1 hammering of Slovan Bratislava, and he could be the man to inspire the Hoops in Croatia.
