Champions League Celtic vs Rosenborg

Both teams want to retain all their qualifying chances before the second leg.

State of form

Last season, Celtic won a 7th Scottish championship title, finishing in 1st place with 9 points ahead of the 2nd. Before taking part in this second qualifying round of the Champions League, the British had no trouble getting rid of Alashkert Armenians (wins 3-0 away and 3-0 at home). Celtic will start its championship on August 4th.
Winner of the championship in 2015, 2016 and 2017, Rosenborg occupies this year, after 16 days, the 2nd place in the ranking with 2 units behind the 1st place. The Norwegians still show a good form these days, as evidenced by their last 3 games won in the league. In the first qualifying round of C1, Rosenborg hardly dominated the Icelanders of Valur (0-1 away defeat and 3-1 win at home).

The staff for Celtic vs Rosenborg

Celtic is led by its colony of young French players composed of midfielder Ntcham and attackers Dembélé and Odsonne Edouard. These last two are the major offensive assets of this training.
Rosenborg will have to contend with the injuries of holders Helland and Konradsen and longtime absentee Adegbenro. Former Stephanois Soderlund (6 goals in the league) will be aligned at the forefront of the attack.
