Will Bayern Be Too Strong for Celts?

Sealing a spot in the top 24 was Celtic’s main aim before a ball was kicked, and Brendan Rodgers’ boys passed that test. The Hoops went five Champions League games unbeaten before the 4-2 loss at Aston Villa in game eight.

Bayern Munich were gunning for a top-eight place, but the Bavarians had to settle for a spot in the play-offs after three defeats in eight. Bayern were one of five teams to miss out on automatic qualification by a point.

Since the defeat at Villa Park, Celtic have won three on the trot, scoring 14 goals. After a 6-0 victory over Dundee, Rodgers’ side beat Raith Rovers 5-0 in the cup last Saturday.

Bayern crashed to a shocking 3-0 loss at Feyenoord in their penultimate league-phase Champions League game, but Vincent Kompany’s men have responded with four successive wins. Last Friday, Harry Kane netted twice in a 3-0 Bundesliga victory over Werder Bremen.

Recent Celtic vs Bayern Munich Head-to-Head Meetings

The last meetings between the clubs came in the 2017-18 Champions League group stage. Bayern beat the Scottish side twice, winning 3-0 at home and 2-1 in Glasgow.

They have met a total of four times on the European stage, with the Bavarians winning three and drawing one. Celtic did manage to hold the German giants to a goalless draw in November 2003.

Celtic vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips & Predictions

Celtic Park is a tough place to visit, and the Scottish champions are unbeaten on their own patch this season. The Celts will be no pushovers, but Bayern’s qualities should shine through.

Take a punt on the Munich win and both teams to score at 2.50. Also, we fancy Bayern to score first at 1.36.
