Celtic vs RB Leipzig Predictions

Celtic can take a positive result in a likely thrilling Champions League (UCL) contest in Glasgow.

I'm backing the hosts in the double chance market, in a game where BTTS and over 2.5 goals has every chance.

Celtic have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 4 home matches (UCL)
Celtic are unbeaten in their last 22 home matches
RB Leipzig failed to win their last 5 matches (UCL)
RB Leipzig have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches
RB Leipzig have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 11 matches (UCL)
RB Leipzig have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 away matches

Head to Head

Celtic and RB Leipzig will meet for the fifth time at Parkhead. RB won three of four previous encounters, including a pair of UCL victories in 2022.

Celtic Form

Celtic turn their attention to Champions League business after a superb 6-0 win against Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals on Saturday. Daizen Maeda helped himself to a hat-trick in a commanding victory for Brendan Rodgers's in-form side.

The three-in-a-row Scottish champions are particularly strong in Glasgow. Celtic remain unbeaten in 20 matches across all competitions at Parkhead in 2024 (W18, D2).

The Bhoys sit 20th in the Champions League table after a goalless draw with Atalanta on matchday three.

Celtic Team News

Celtic boss Rodgers has a fully fit squad available on Tuesday. The Scots are likely to retain the same XI that dismissed Aberdeen on Saturday.

RB Leipzig Form

RB Leipzig's 19-game unbeaten Bundesliga run was halted on Saturday as Marco Rose's side slipped to a 2-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Serhou Guirassy's second-half goal secured a well-deserved comeback victory for BVB.

The Red Bulls make the trip to Glasgow in search of their first Champions League points of the season. Handed a particularly tough UCL draw, Marco Rose's side slipped to defeat in their first three league fixtures against Juventus (3-2), Atletico Madrid (2-1) and Liverpool (1-0).

Reliable in the goal markets, RB have seen BTTS in 19 of their last 22 away fixtures.

RB Leipzig Team News

Head coach Rose is unable to call on three first-team players ahead of the trip to Glasgow. Xavi Simons, Xaver Schlager, and David Raum are all ruled out for the visitors.

Verdict

Celtic v RB Leipzig

An entertaining and high-scoring contest could be on the cards in Glasgow.

I'm backing Celtic to at least avoid defeat in a game where BTTS and over 2.5 goals can be expected.
