Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Celtic vs Bayern

Celtic

The Scottish team finished 21st in the overall standings of the main round of the Champions League, but still made it to the playoffs despite not the most convincing performance. Reaching the 1/16 finals of the European Cup tournament can already be considered a good achievement for Celtic, because the team managed to bypass many clubs that are much stronger in terms of the level of players. The Scots were very unlucky with the draw, but two matches against Bayern should become a real test of strength for Celtic and will demonstrate the real strength of the team.

Bayern

The Munich team lost three matches in eight rounds of the main round of the Champions League, winning the remaining five - such a result did not allow Vincent Kompany's charges to directly advance to the 1/8 finals of the tournament. It is safe to say that the Bayern players themselves are to blame for what happened and will now be forced to begin their path to the trophy from the play-off stage. The Munich team's top scorer in the current Champions League is English forward Harry Kane, who scored six goals and made one assist.

Game Totals Prediction

This is one of the few pairs in the 1/16 finals of the Champions League, where such an obvious difference in class between the opponents is visible and the balance of power is extremely clear. Bayern will try to establish a comfortable advantage in the first match against Celtic, so that in the return match they will be able to play according to the result and without much pressure. The hosts on their field in front of their home fans are certainly ready to give a serious fight to the favorite, but it is unlikely that their motivation will outweigh the level and experience of the visiting players. An interesting choice seems to be a bet on handicap 2 (-1.5) for 1.95.
