Command Analysis
Celtic
ScotlandCurrent form
Things are going well for Celtic in the Champions League. Of course, the crushing 1:7 defeat to Borussia Dortmund will remain in the fans' memory for a long time, but they managed to earn four points in two other matches. Let recall that Brendan Rodgers' men have a 5:1 home win over Slovan and a goalless draw away to Atalanta. With four points, the Scots are approaching the start of the fourth round in 20th place in the table.
In the national championship, the Celts have a new competitor – Aberdeen. After 10 rounds, these teams have 28 points each, Celtic is ahead only on additional indicators. At the weekend, in the semi-final of the League Cup, they managed to crush this unexpected pursuer with a score of 6:0.
Traditionally, https://www.celticfc.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Celtic performs strongly on their home field. Taking into account all tournaments, the team has played nine matches at Celtic Park, in which they have lost points only once. Again, they could not do without Aberdeen, with whom they recorded a fighting 2:2 draw in the championship.

RB Leipzig
GermanyCurrent form
Leipzig is having a mixed season. In the Bundesliga, the Bulls are fighting for first place with Bayern, and have yet to earn a single point in the Champions League. At the same time, Marco Rose team is demonstrating very organised football, balanced in all components, and there are no weak points in the game as such.
Until the ninth round of the championship, Leipzig was unbeaten. The stumbling block was Borussia Dortmund (1:2). In that away match, Sheshko opened the scoring, but failed to maintain the advantage. With 20 points after nine rounds in the Bundesliga, the Bulls are in second place and three points behind Bayern. It is impossible not to note the most reliable defense line in the tournament - only five goals conceded.
In the Champions League, Marco Rose men are disappointing their fans, as they have not scored a single point in three rounds. Interestingly, in the matches with Atletico and Juventus, the same Sheshko opened the scoring, but was unable to maintain the advantage. There was also a good home match against Liverpool with a minimal defeat of 0:1. Of course, the Bulls' schedule was very difficult from the very start, but now there is practically no room for error to claim a place in the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Schlager, Seiwald, Raum and Simons will be out due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Three of Leipzig previous five matches have seen more than one goal scored in the first half
- The Bulls have not won in four of their last six away matches in the Champions League
- In Leipzig previous five away matches in the LS, both teams scored goals
- The Bulls have scored at least two goals in 8 of their last 12 away matches in the Champions League
Estimated line-up : Gulácsi – Gertruyda, Orban, Klostermann, Henrichs – Nusa, Haidara, Vermeeren, Baumgartner – Openda, Šeshko.

1.80Tip and bets
Leipzig have not earned a single point in three rounds and have put themselves in a difficult position – they need to earn points today, otherwise the Champions League playoffs will pass them by. Winning in Glasgow is not easy, but the Bulls have done it in their history. Marco Rose’s team has not shown any decline in play, often a minute’s loss of concentration led to unnecessary missed goals. The visitors undoubtedly have some advantage in class, and due to their motivation they are capable of winning their first victory in the current tournament.
Our prediction is a Leipzig victory with odds of 2.15
Bet on total
The opponents have solid attacking potential, which could lead to an exchange of goals. Thus, Celtic has scored in all home matches since the beginning of the season. Leipzig was only unable to open up St. Pauli defense on the road.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.55
Bet on the first half
At home, Celtic traditionally tries to play first number and spends a lot of time at the opponent goal. It is no coincidence that the Celts have won 18 of the last 21 matches on corners. We think that bookmakers are somewhat underestimating the hosts in this component.
Prediction: Celtic won't lose on corners with odds of 1.90
