Celtic

Brendan Rodgers' men managed to hold firm in their last away game against Italy's Atalanta (0:0). As a result, Celtic remains unbeaten in three out of their last four Champions League matches (2 wins, 1 draw), accumulating four points and securing a spot in the playoff zone (20th place).

• The club has not lost in regular time in 4 of their last 5 home games in the Champions League (2 wins, 2 draws).
• The team has conceded exactly one or two goals in six previous home encounters in this European competition.
• Exactly two or three goals were scored in regular time in 7 of the last 9 home matches for the Scots in the UCL.

RB Leipzig

Marco Rose's side lost at home to Liverpool with a score of 0:1 in their last match. As a result, RB Leipzig extended their winless streak in the Champions League to five matches (1 draw, 4 losses). With no points in the group stage, the club is at the very bottom of the standings, ahead of five teams only by a better goal difference.

Defender David Raum, as well as midfielders Xaver Schlager and Xavi Simons, will miss the game due to injuries.

• The team has not won in regular time in 4 of their last 6 away matches in the UCL (1 draw, 3 losses).
• Both opponents scored within 90 minutes in the last five away games for the club in the Champions League.
• The Germans have scored at least two goals in regular time in 8 of their last 12 away games in this European cup.

Celtic vs. RB Leipzig: match prediction

The Scots can be considered one of those teams that, while not among the best, can put up a fight on their home ground. The support of the stands often helps Celtic to achieve a positive result in European competitions: in the last 16 home matches in the Champions League, the club has lost in regular time only five times (7 wins, 4 draws). And in the first round of the current group stage, the Scots thrashed Slovan at home (5:1).

RB Leipzig had an unfortunate start to their UCL campaign, with two of the three losses occurring in home games. It will be difficult to rectify the situation on the road, as the Germans have not won in regular time in their last three away matches in this European cup (1 draw, 2 losses), and out of the last 13 away fixtures in the Champions League, the club has only five wins after 90 minutes (1 draw, 7 losses).

In my opinion, Brendan Rodgers' charges are quite capable of scoring points in this match. My prediction: "Celtic win or draw" with odds
