Key stats

  • This is the first UEFA competition meeting between Celtic and Roma.
  • Celtic have won only two of their last 16 UEFA competition matches against Italian teams (D4 L10).
  • Celtic have lost only two of their last ten UEFA competition matches at home (W5 D3).
  • Celtic have lost only two of their last eight UEFA competition matches (W2 D4).
  • Aside from their 2-0 victory at Rangers on Matchday 4 of the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League, Roma’s only previous UEFA matches against a Scottish team came in the semi-finals of the 1983/84 European Cup against Dundee United when they overturned a 2-0 deficit from the first leg in Scotland with a 3-0 win in Rome to reach the final.
  • Roma have won their two previous away matches in the league phase of this season’s UEFA Europa League.
  • Roma have lost only three of their last 11 league phase matches in the UEFA Europa League (W6 D2).

Celtic vs Roma prediction

After a turbulent start to the season which has seen Martin O’Neill return as an interim coach following the dramatic departure of Brendan Rodgers, Wilfried Nancy has suffered a frustrating start to his reign as Celtic boss with the Bhoys losing a top-of-the-table clash against Hearts at Celtic Park the other day.

They now face a Roma side that have been much-improved, albeit surprisingly stubborn and lacking fluency, since the appointment of Gian Piero Gasperini. Their lack of attacking form was exposed at the weekend as the Giallorossi fell away from top spot in Serie A with a surprise 1-0 defeat to Cagliari in Sardinia.

Roma will head to Glasgow very confident that they can limit a confused Celtic side that are lacking cohesion and siding with the visitors would appear a good bet here.
