Bayern Munich vs Celtic Preview and Team News
Bayern Munich Team News
On Saturday, Bayern Munich took another step toward regaining the Bundesliga title, drawing 0-0 in Leverkusen. However, this match cannot be called decent for the visitors, as they had 0.07 xG – the worst result of the season.
At Celtic Park in the first leg, Bayern did not show outstanding football, but they still managed to claim an advantage in the current Champions League. The German club have not lost points at home and are within reach of the next round.
Alphonso Davies is still sidelined. Hiroki Ito has recovered from a terrific injury and featured in the last two games. However, the Japanese is still far from his ideal form, and we expect Raphaël Guerreiro to start instead.
Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Celtic (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Laimer, Kim, Upamecano, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Musiala, Sane; Kane.
Celtic Team News
Celtic can be proud of their performance this season. For the first time since 2013, the Scottish team advanced from the group stage of the Champions League, having suffered only two defeats in eight matches.
In their first game, Celtic managed to put up resilience, surpassing Bayern Munich in terms of expected goals xG (1.37 against 0.92). Nevertheless, they conceded one goal more than their opponents.
The visitors have almost all their players available. Only James Forrest and Paulo Bernardo are absent due to injuries. Brendan Rodgers will most likely use the same lineup at the Allianz Arena last week.
Celtic predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich (4-3-3): Schmeichel; Johnston, Trusty, Carter-Vickers, Taylor; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Kühn, Idah, Maeda.
Bayern Munich vs Celtic Prediction
- Pick: Bayern (-2.5) Handicap
- Odds: 2.12 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Bayern Munich 4-1 Celtic
After the defeat in Glasgow, Celtic will be forced to take risks and attack actively at the Allianz Arena. This will likely have consequences, as Bayern‘s fast wingers are lethal on counterattacks.
The guests played four away matches during the group stage and grabbed only two points. Their draw with Atalanta in Bergamo is positive, but they rarely left their half of the field for the entire game.
On another trip against Borussia Dortmund in September, the Scottish side were completely demolished (1-7). We think the hosts are the favourites and will dominate Tuesday’s event. Our first pick here would be Bayern Munich to win with (-2.5) handicap.
Bayern Munich vs Celtic Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.80 (22Bet)
Bayern Munich’s defence has not been reliable this season. It’s enough to recall the recent home match against Holstein Kiel. When leading 4-0, they allowed their opponents to score three goals.
We should expect another prolific action from Harry Kane, who scored the winning goal in Scotland. From the visitors, the primary threat will be Japanese Daizen Maeda, who reduced the score in their previous H2H fixture.
In the Champions League, Bayern conceded on average more than one goal per game – 1.44. We think that Celtic’s aggressive play will have an impact, and they’ll net at least once. Our second pick is both teams to score.
