Celtic vs RB Leipzig Predictions

• Celtic lost 7-1 to Borussia Dortmund in their first clash with a Bundesliga side this term
• Leipzig have conceded six goals in three Champions League games
• Over 2.5 goals has landed in three straight matches for the visitors

Slow start for Leipzig

RB Leipzig have lost each of their first three games in the new-look Champions League, leaving their qualification hopes on the ropes. Defeats to Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Liverpool have left them needing at least three wins from their final five games.

Celtic will be wary of crossing paths with German opposition, having been beaten 7-1 away to Borussia Dortmund in this competition. However, a draw at Atalanta last time out boosted their chances of qualifying, as they withstood a barrage which saw Atalanta rack up 2.4 Expected Goals.

The Bhoys were on form domestically at the weekend, beating a high-flying Aberdeen side 6-0 at Hampden Park. Brendan Rodgers led his side to a 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava in their first home game in Europe this season and the Bhoys should look to get forward here.

Leipzig have conceded six goals across their first three European games and over 2.5 goals has landed in each of their last three. The attacking talent of a top Bundesliga side should trouble Celtic yet again, but the hosts will put up a fight. Look to Daizen Maeda here, with the Japanese forward scoring in two of his last three Champions League games. He hit a hat-trick on Saturday so he appeals at 4/1 to score anytime.
