Juve all the way.
This is one of those games where the heart says one thing, but the head says another. Don't bet money you can't afford to lose on Celtic turning over Juve.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Juventus purely because I want to see United-Juventus.
Their strike force is very average. I think Celtic will win this but Juve wins the tie.
It's not that ridiculous a prediction tbh. Celtic have it in them to get a 1-0 win if they emulate their performances in the CL this year.
Will be interesting to see how and if Wanyama can disrupt the superb Juve midfield.
Think it will be a score draw though.
I can see this being where Celtic come unstuck. They might get a score draw but I reckon they'll be well beaten over two legs.

Asamoah missing, that's a boost for Celtic right now. Vucinic passed fit though. We'll see how big the absence of Chiellini will be, because he'll be back for the second leg. Could be a long and tough night for Celtic here.
Aye, reckon Juve possess a more suitable set of strengths to deal with Celtic compared to the teams they faced in the group stages.
definitely watching this over juve-celtic even though i really like watching juve.
Me too. I want to check out what the hype is with Moura.
that front 6 looks brilliant
Watching Celtic vs Juve probably.
Want to see Wanyama.
Want to see Wanyama.
I really want Celtic to do this just because it'd be amazing and funny.
On the other hand I have a strange affinity for Juventus this season, mostly due to them completely raping Chelsea whilst somehow looking like a team of particularly unarsed Berbatovs.

Valencia going with Dani Parejo at CM? Ouch. Is Gago injured? Even then, Albelda would have been preferable.
Surprised Ambrose made the first team, he just came back from the ACN.
The Celtic game is on stv in Scotland and the idiots decided to be pitch side meaning you can barely hear the presenter and pundits.
Celtic's last 23 home games in the CL, W15 D6 L2. Both defeats against Barca. That's an absolutely outstanding record for what is an average team.
Pfft, Pogba can't even make the Juventus starting lineup. What a silly loser.
That sounds like one of them good problems.
We beat them 0-2 in 2009 without raising a sweat.
He is not getting anywhere near regular game time there.
21 apps in all competitions, pretty good for a young player just coming into a team in a new league, especially with that midfield.
Top atmosphere at Celtic Park
Who sang that dreadful dirge first Celtic or Liverpool?
feck me Pirlo looks about 65.
People singing rather loudly will not affect legends of the game such as Buffon, Pirlo etc. I expect Juve to be clinical here, a 2-0 victory for the Old Lady.
Want Celtic to smash them just to stop the daft love in.
Valencia without a real holding mid... 
this'll end well. Valverde thinks he's Emery or what?
this'll end well. Valverde thinks he's Emery or what?Yeah, 12 starts mostly in the cup or against lower teams in a league that is more suited to him and also, in a system that suits him well with 2 other players doing the running.
It's decent game time, but nothing special or substantially more than he would have gotten here. Even Powell made 6 appearances for us before getting injured till November and he is a year behind Pogba.
BBC are really playing up this game.Hope Celtic don't disappoint.
Rodgers and Hammerstein
Safe to say the crowd are up for it!
You couldn't even hear the Champions League theme before kick off. Parkhead is absolutely jumping.
I want Celtic to do good, but (somewhat) sadly I expect Juve to trash them, regardless of their record.
Must win for Celtic.
Moyes and Larsson are the pundits so I'm actually interested in listening for once!
Wanyama with a decent shot.
fecking hell that's loud.
The commentary and media love in with Celtic is cringey as feck.
Good atmosphere ofcourse, but feck me, when you have three big games a season it would be like that.
