MATCH PREVIEW:
The Czech side come into this one on the back of a 3-0 defeat against Mlada Boleslav in the Czech First League on Saturday.
Fila opened the account for Boleslav before Skoda added a brace to inflicted a damaging defeat on Jablonec.
This was their 2nd match in the Czech First league and they currently stand in 9th place with 3 points and a negative goal difference.
On the other hand, the Scottish side have not been at their best either.
They were knocked out of Champions League qualifiers by Midtjylland last week and even lost to Hearts in the Scottish league.
Celtic are on a three-match losing streak and will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
The Scottish side finished runners-up last season and will want to reward themselves by staying in Europe this season.
Postecoglou’s side has only won 2 matches since the start of July.
Both sides will be facing each other for the first time in a competitive competition and hence will be intending on stamping their authority.
Line-ups
Jablonec:
Hanus, Krob, Martinec, Zeleny, Stepanek, Kubista, Povazanec, Kratochvil, Malinsky, Plestil and Dolezal

Celtic:
Bain, Ralston, Welsh, Urhoghide, Taylor, Shaw, McGregor, Turnbull, Moffat, Christie and Ajeti
Prediction: Jablonec 1-2 Celtic
Jablonec come into this one having better form since they have won 2 of their last 3 matches while Celtic are on a three-match losing streak.
The Czech is capable of inflicting a shock defeat but we foresee Celtic edge this one due to their experience and crop of players, who will be itching to make a mark.
