Celtic Brendan Rodgers' charges managed to hold out in the away match with Italian Atalanta (0:0) in the previous round. As a result, Celtic has not lost for the third time in their last four Champions League matches (2 wins, 1 draw), now sitting on four points, which places them in the playoff zone (20th place). - The club hasn't lost in regular time in 4 out of their last 5 home matches in the Champions League (2 wins, 2 draws). - The team conceded exactly one or two goals in six of their previous home encounters in this European competition. - Exactly two or three goals were scored in regular time in 7 out of the last 9 home matches of the Scots in the UCL. RB Leipzig In the previous round, Marco Rose's men were defeated at home by Liverpool with a score of 0:1. As a result, RB Leipzig extended their winless streak in the Champions League to five matches (1 draw, 4 losses). Without a single point in the group stage, the club is at the very bottom of the tournament table, ahead of five clubs only due to a better goal difference. - Defender David Raum, as well as midfielders Xavi Simons and Xaver Schlager, will miss the game due to injuries. - The team has not won in regular time in 4 out of their last 6 away matches in the UCL (1 draw, 3 losses). - Both opponents scored within 90 minutes in the five previous away meetings of the club in the Champions League. - The Germans have scored at least two goals in regular time in 8 out of their last 12 away matches in this European competition. Celtic vs RB Leipzig: Match Prediction The Scots can be considered one of those teams that can put up a fight against any opponent on their home turf. The support of the stands often helps Celtic to secure a positive result on the European stage: in the last 16 home matches in the Champions League, the club has only lost five times in regular time (7 wins, 4 draws). Moreover, in the first round of the group stage, the Scots thrashed Slovan at home (5:1). RB Leipzig has had an unfortunate start to their Champions League campaign, with two of the three losses occurring in home matches. It won't be easy to rectify the situation away from home, as the Germans have not won in regular time in any of their previous three away encounters in this competition (1 draw, 2 losses), and out of the last 13 away matches in the Champions League, the club has only secured five victories within 90 minutes (1 draw, 7 losses). In my opinion, Brendan Rodgers' charges are quite capable of earning points in this match. My prediction: "Celtic win or draw" with odds of 1.75. Author: Dmitry Shchurko
