Game Preview

The Hoops are very, very confident at home, having won 11 straight games at Celtic Park across all competitions. Apart from beating Young Boys 1-0, they scored two or more goals in each of those events.

But on the other side, their defense has been remarkable. Celtic kept clean sheets in nine of those 11 events, proving to have a solid defense. However, those were primarily matches against domestic opponents.

Bayern defeated Werder this Friday, 3-0, in the opening Bundesliga fixture of the round. After losing to Feyenoord in the UCL, this team posted four straight victories, with a combined goal difference of 13-5.

The Bavarians haven’t been that confident on the road over the previous month and more. In the last five outings, they have three wins and two defeats.

Celtic vs. Bayern Munich Head to Head

Previous clashes between the two teams were in the 2017 UCL group stage. Bayern won on both occasions, 3-0 at home and 1-2 on the road.

Celtic vs. Bayern Munich Prediction

Bayern isn’t as ruthless on the road as before, but we still think they will beat Celtic and return home with a W in its pocket.
