Check out how to watch AZ Alkmaar v Celtic in the Europa League this week, including TV and live stream details, team news, predictions and odds.
Celtic are in a better position than they could’ve realistically hoped for going into their Europa League play-off second leg clash with AZ Alkmaar.
The Bhoys were handed the tricky draw but overcame their Dutch opponents 2-0 at Celtic Park with a goal from Kyogo Furuhashi and own goal from Timo Letschert.
Boss Ange Postecoglu is finding a rhythm from his team following an opening day Scottish Premiership defeat.
Since that loss to Hearts, Celtic have won six in a row, scoring a remarkable 24 goals in that time. Their last trip out resulted in a 6-0 win over St Mirren, but now the focus will turn to the other end of the pitch.
A two-goal cushion gives Celtic plenty to defend, but how deep will they sit during this one? Or will Postecoglu encourage his men to attack and kill the tie on the front foot?

Our prediction: AZ Alkmaar v Celtic
We wrote Celtic off in the first leg, but they proved us wrong – and probably many of their own fans.
It’s been an electric few weeks for the Bhoys but as mentioned, all eyes will turn to their rearguard for this one. Expect Celtic to dig deep for as long as possible and turn the first half into a scrappy, cagey affair.
If they can reach half-time with the two-goal lead intact, don’t expect Postecoglu to suddenly release the handbrake. AZ Alkmaar could win the battle, but Celtic are well-poised to win the war.
Our prediction: AZ Alkmaar 1-0 Celtic (12/1 at bet365)
