Dortmund vs. Celtic Match Preview

The Millionaires were down 0-2 after 20 minutes of their Reivierderby clash against Bochum. The event’s final result was 4-2 for the home team, who smashed the big rivals in the second 45 minutes.

Serhou Guirassy netted a brace, while Karim Adeyemi posted two assists. This was the fourth match in a row for the Millionaires that saw three or more goals and the third during this span, with both teams netting and over 4.5 hits.

The Bhoys have been fantastic on the road against St. Johnstone, where they beat the hosts 0-6. Their performance was a rhapsody, with the entire team playing fantastic football.

Celtic has 13 straight wins and 26 contests without losing in a row. Now that’s impressive. They emphasize offense and want to score goals, even if that creates gaps in defense. Most of their matches this summer ended with them delivering three or more goals.

Dortmund vs. Celtic Head-to-Head

This will be the fifth game between these two clubs. Celtic had only one win back in 1987, while Borussia had three triumphs.

Dortmund vs. Celtic Prediction

The Millionaires are very aggressive at home and always try to impose a high-paced tempo. Celtic isn’t very good at defending, so we predict over 2.5 goals in this meeting.

  • Free Dortmund vs. Celtic Pick: Over 2.5 goals
