Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
Signal Iduna Park will come to life on Tuesday night when Borussia Dortmund host Celtic in round two of the new-look Champions League. Die Borussen are in fifth place in the League Phase table after the first week, while the Hoops are second behind Bayern Munich at the top of the standings. Check out our match prediction below!
This will be BVB’s fifth meeting in a major European competition against the Bhoys, and the Bundesliga outfit have won three of the previous four encounters. Celtic have faced German opponents eight times in the Champions League in the past but failed to win any of those matches (W0 D2 L6), and lost each of the last four.
The hosts are the favourites at the books, but the visitors have been in sensational form this season, winning nine in a row in all competitions ahead of this one. Let’s get into the key stats at play in this second-round clash.

Borussia Dortmund - Celtic: Form Analysis
Borussia Dortmund kicked off their Champions League campaign with an impressive showing, coming away from Belgium with a 3-0 win over Club Brugge last week.
However, they suffered a painful 5-1 loss to Stuttgart a few days later before bouncing back with a 4-2 win over Bochum last weekend, leaving them in fourth place in their domestic league after five games.
With those results, Die Schwarzgelben have now scored two or more goals in five of their seven matches across all competitions this season.
BVB enter this match on an 11-match unbeaten run at home (W7 D4 L0) and kept eight clean sheets during that period!
Meanwhile, Celtic put in a dominant display in their opening match of this competition in Glasgow, with five different players getting on the scoresheet in the 5-1 demolition of the Super Liga champions Slovan Bratislava.
That margin of victory was the second-biggest in the opening round of the competition, behind Bayern’s 9-2 thumping of Dinamo Zagreb. Since then, Celtic have notched up another two big wins, beating Falkirk and St. Johnstone 5-2 and 6-0 respectively.
However, despite their recent run of form, the Hoops’ away record in Europe is very poor, having lost each of their last five on the road in the Champions League and winless in eight (W0 D1 L7).

G. Reyna
Borussia Dortmund & Celtic Squad Analysis
Dortmund were dealt an injury blow in their defeat to Stuttgart, with Marcel Sabitzer picking up a knock which saw him sit out last week’s win over Bochum. The midfielder is flagged as a doubt for this one as well.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is also likely to miss out this week due to a muscle injury and Giovanni Reyna is ruled out of action for at least another two weeks due to a groin strain.
Serhou Guirassy has scored four goals in BVB’s last three matches across all competitions!
Celtic, on the other hand, have just one injury concern for this crucial matchup in the form of right-back Alistair Johnston, who reportedly sustained a minor leg injury in the Hoops’ 6-1 triumph over St. Johnstone.
Callum McGregor and Kyogo Furuhashi have begun the season exceptionally well for the Bhoys, with both players currently on four goals in all competitions. They were both on the scoresheet last weekend as well.

Our Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic Prediction
While BVB are somewhat expectedly installed as the favourites here, it’s tough to ignore Celtic’s incredible goal-scoring form this season (33 goals in nine games).
Additionally, the Hoops were extremely impressive against Slovan Bratislava in week one when they romped to a 5-1 win. Even if the visitors lose here, we feel this will be a very entertaining watch with plenty of chances at both ends. Our Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic prediction: Over 2.5!
