Celtic will be determined to make the most of home advantage when facing Stuttgart in the opening leg of their Europa League play-off tie. The German outfit have a great record in front of their own fans, but do not tend to travel as well.
Celtic vs Stuttgart Prediction – Europa League 2025/26
With the Hoops being unbeaten since Martin O’Neill’s return to the helm, we feel 21/10 for them to prevail in Glasgow is tempting enough to be our initial Celtic vs Stuttgart prediction.

Head To Head
Celtic vs Stuttgart head-to-head record
O’Neill was also in charge when these teams met in this competition exactly 23 years ago, and Celtic fans will have fond memories of that tie. The Bhoys built up a 3-1 lead on home turf and just managed to sneak through 5-4 on aggregate after going down 3-2 in Germany , where they went 2-0 in front but ended up hanging on under intense pressure.
For those who believe history will repeat itself, BOYLE Sports are offering a price boost of 5/1 for a home win and both teams to score in their Celtic vs Stuttgart odds.

The Hoops looked in danger of crashing out at the league stage until O’Neill stepped in to lead them to a 2-2 draw at Bologna and then a 4-2 home victory over Utrecht . Domestic results have also improved under the veteran boss, with 16 points picked up out of a possible 18 in the SPL and a couple of Scottish FA Cup triumphs adding to the feel-good factor.
Sunday’s success at Kilmarnock showed the spirit currently running through the team, with Celtic trailing 2-0 at half-time on a tricky artificial pitch but rallying to triumph 3-2 via a dramatic winner in the seventh minute of stoppage time. “Twenty-odd years ago, I managed a really fine team, who had loads of spirit, loads of determination and always saw it to the end,” said O’Neill . “There were many traits here about this side, and they’ve shown fantastic character.”
The Hoops also left it late before seeing off Dundee and Livingston in their previous two matches, so another BOYLE Sports price boost of 7/1 for Draw HT/Celtic FT is added to our Celtic vs Stuttgart betting tips.
Stuttgart Form Guide
Die Roten head into this contest in fine form after Saturday’s 3-1 home win over Cologne made it five victories out of six and left them fourth in the Bundesliga . However, they were beaten 2-1 away to St Pauli the weekend before and that continued a trend of being much more vulnerable on the road.
Five of their six Bundesliga defeats this term have come on their travels, while it was a similar tale during the league stage of this competition. Stuttgart won all four home fixtures, but away losses at Basel , Fenerbahce and Roma contributed towards them missing out on a top-eight spot.
For Celtic , Benjamin Nygren has really shone since O’Neill’s arrival, scoring in six out of 10 appearances. Three of those were opening goals, and the Sweden international is 13/2 to break the deadlock again here in the Celtic vs Stuttgart odds.
