Celtic are 21st in the Europa League standings with seven points
Roma have won both away games in the Europa League this season
Recommended bet: Roma win and under 3.5 goals
Wilfried Nancy is hunting his first win as Celtic boss following Sunday's 2-1 home defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership, but faces a tough assignment as Roma head to Glasgow in the Europa League.
Nancy has been tasked with guiding the Bhoys through to the knockout stages, but they face a Giallorossi side who have won three games in Europe already this season.

Team news
Celtic left-back Marcelo Saracchi is a doubt with a hamstring issue, while Jota is not available until January due to a cruciate ligament injury.
Cameron Carter-Vickers has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an Achilles problem, while Alistair Johnston will be sidelined until March due a hamstring injury.
Roma forward Artem Dobvyk is a doubt to feature at Parkhead due to a hip injury which has forced him to miss the last four games.
The stats
Celtic had won five straight matches before Sunday's home loss to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
Roma have lost their last two games in Serie A, having previously been on a run of six wins in seven games across all competitions.
This is the first time Celtic and Roma have met in European competition, while the Bhoys' record against Italian sides is seven wins, nine draws and 16 defeats.
Roma have scored four goals in two games on their travels in the Europa League this campaign.
Celtic have kept three clean sheets in their last six matches across all competitions.
Roma, having already beaten Rangers away from home this season, will have won more games in Glasgow than Rome in this year's Europa League should they defeat Celtic on Thursday evening.

Prediction
The fixture list has not been kind to new manager Nancy, as after facing Premiership title rivals Hearts and losing on Sunday, the Frenchman now leads his team against Roma.
In Europe, the Bhoys remain on course to proceed to the knockout stage play-offs, but will have a battle on their hands should they lose to the Italian giants on Thursday.
Roma are two points above Celtic in 15th and are favourites to win, which would see the Giallorossi boost their own hopes of progressing straight to the Round of 16.
While Celtic are underdogs, it should be a tight game, so backing under 3.5 goals could prove a smart pick.
No Roma match in the Europa League has featured more than three goals, while Celtic have only conceded three in two European home games this campaign.
