It will be extremely difficult, though, as Celtic is in excellent form and is looking poised to advance.

In their first match at Celtic Park, Leigh Griffiths gave the Glasgow squad an early lead with a goal in the third minute of the match.

Nir Biton doubled the lead only seven minutes later with Stefan Johansen providing with his second assist in the game.

Holding on to the lead until the end of the first half, things looked great for Celtic until the 52nd minute when Jo Berget scored for Malmo to cut the lead in half.

Wary of the possibility of a comeback for Malmo, Griffiths scored his second of the game to re-establish their two-goal lead.

It would come in handy as Berget got a goal in the fifth minute of injury time to cut the lead back to one goal which is very manageable as the return leg is to be played at home.

Unfortunately for the Swedish club, their loss against Celtic was paired with a league loss to Hacken. They should try to gather themselves and end the losing streak if they want to continue their European journey.

Meanwhile, Celtic has been excellent as it has not lost in its last 13 matches across all competitions. Even more impressive is that in those 13 matches, only two of those have ended in draws.
