AIK and Celtic go head-to-head in the Europa League this week
Celtic have one foot in the Europa League group stage ahead of their play-off second-leg clash with AIK.
The Bhoys ran out 2-0 winners in Glasgow last week with James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard on the scoresheet.
The hosts limited the Swedish side to just a solitary effort on target and will hope for a repeat display in Scandinavia.
AIK are the defending champions of the Allsvenskan – the Swedish top flight – with former Sunderland midfielder Seb Larsson among their ranks.
Celtic boss Neil Lennon will be aware of the threat AIK pose, but knows that an away goal for his own side would leave their opponents with a mountain to climb.

Individual quality from Edouard shone through in the first leg but Celtic will require an all-round team effort to dig in and hold their lead on away soil.
Celtic don’t make life easy for themselves on the continent – the Bhoys’ 5-4 aggregate defeat against Cluj in the Champions League qualifiers this season attests to that.
One goal should do the trick for Lennon and his men, but it won’t be a comfortable night.
Prediction: AIK 2-1 Celtic
