As already mentioned at the beginning, Celtic enjoyed home advantage in the first leg. In Celtic Park at home, the hosts started like the fire brigade and only took eleven minutes to get to the front through Kyogo Furuhashi. The lead was also deserved at the time as the hosts had more of the game. The guests wanted to bring about the equalization, but found hardly any means to bring the defense of the home team into serious trouble.
No further goals were scored until the break. After the side change, the hosts got the better start again and only needed 16 minutes to increase the James Forrest to 2-0. The Scots continued to dominate the game. Nevertheless, there were no further gates.
Alkmaar only managed to secure third place in the league table last season. Eindhoven and Ajax had simply not been passed by. At least the Europa League qualification was fixed with third place. In the first leg of the play-offs, the Dutch team struggled and failed to score an important away goal.
Last season, the Dutch even competed in qualifying for the premier league. Against Dynamo Kiev, the sails had to be cancelled in the third qualifying round after a 0-2 victory. Thus, in the end, only the participation in the Europa League remained. Two victories, two draws and two defeats were enough in Group F against Naples, Sociedad and the underdog Rijeka only for third place. Although at the end it was only one point behind the second place in the table from Spain.
Coach Pascal Jansen’s team has played one game in the Eredivisie so far. He lost 0-1 to Waalwijk. The team currently occupies 15th place, but has played one game less than the competition. The preparation was quite successfully handled by the Dutch. A total of six out of eight preparatory games were finished victorious.

Celtic finished in second place last season after nine championships in a row “only”. The Rangers secured the title. As runner-up, Celtic competed against Midtjylland in qualifying for the premier league. However, he lost to the Danes and slipped directly into the third round of the Europa League qualification. In this one, Jablonec was defeated twice. The first leg against Alkmaar was also successfully designed with a 2-0 lead.
Last season, Celtic played very weakly at the international level, winning only one of six Europa League matches. In addition, a draw and four defeats were recorded. Sang and Klanglos said goodbye to the Scotsmen from the competition.
At the start of the premiership, Heart of Midlothian was defeated 1:2. This result seemed to have woken the team of coach Ange Postecoglou. The last two league duels were won by 6-0 against Dundee and St. Mirren. The team is currently in very good shape and will want to continue this performance against Alkmaar.
