Sporting Lisbon vs Celtic
Sporting Lisbon and Celtic meet in a friendly clash on Wednesday, offering both sides a chance to fine-tune their preparations ahead of competitive action. The Portuguese hosts enter as favorites with average moneyline odds of 1.49, reflecting their strong home form and squad depth. Celtic, meanwhile, face longer odds at 5.28, suggesting an uphill battle in Lisbon, though friendlies often provide opportunities for experimentation.
The draw sits at 4.34, a plausible outcome given the unpredictable nature of preseason fixtures. While Sporting will aim to build momentum, Celtic could use the match to test tactics and fringe players. With neither side under major pressure, the game may serve more as a fitness exercise than a high-stakes contest, though both clubs will want to avoid slipping into bad habits ahead of their respective campaigns.
