It's actually been a decent start to the new Champions League competition for Celtic, with the Bhoys picking up four points from their three games, while Leipzig will be determined for all three points after losing all of their UCL games so far.

  • Celtic have seen Over 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 games
  • Leipzig have seen Over 2.5 goals in their last three games
  • Celtic have lost 12 of their last 16 games vs German clubs
  • Leipzig have only drawn one of their last 17 UCL away games

Head To Head


These two teams last met during the 2022/23 Champions League group stage, with Leipzig running out 3-1 winners at home and 2-1 victors on the road.

Celtic Form


Celtic have unsurprisingly dominated the SPL to start the season, winning nine of their 10 games - although, they are facing an unexpected challenge from Aberdeen.

However, in saying that, Celtic asserted their authority in the League Cup semi-finals over the weekend, crushing Aberdeen by a 6-0 score.

Usually outclassed in the Champions League, Celtic are sitting in the qualifying spots after three games and are actually ahead of Leipzig on the ladder.

That's due to their 5-1 demolition of lowly Slovan Bratislava at home in their Champions League opener, with Celtic going on to suffer a 7-1 battering at the hands of Dortmund on the road.

Celtic did showcase great resolve in their next UCL game though, holding the in-form Atalanta to a 0-0 draw in Bergamo.

RB Leipzig Form


It's been a mixed start to the season for Leipzig and they are in desperate need of a win here to get their Champions League campaign up and running.

Leipzig were unbeaten in the Bundesliga, but that streak was ended this past weekend as they went down 2-1 against Dortmund.

But it's the Champions League where Leipzig are really struggling, with the club losing all three of their games against Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Liverpool.

Not the easiest draw it must be said, but nevertheless, Leipzig are 0-3 and would have been kicking themselves for letting slip of a lead against 10-man Juventus at home.

Verdict

Celtic obviously flying domestically, but all too often they come unstuck in Europe and they were crushed 7-1 by Dortmund on the road earlier this term.

Leipzig are searching for their first win of the new UCL and this represents the perfect opportunity. Backing Over 2.5 goals and Leipzig to come out on top.
