Celtic vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Celtic have lost their opening two fixtures on their return to the group stage of Europe's premier club competition. After a 2-0 loss away to Feyenoord on Match Day 1, Brendan Rodgers' men were defeated 2-1 at home by Lazio last time out. It looked as if they might earn a point against the Serie A side but concede a 95th minute goal. The Scottish giants played well against Lazio but were unfortunate to fall in the Italians' comeback. Celtic are dominating domestically again but have found it hard to replicate this form in Europe. The Hoops have won eight of their 12 matches across all competitions and arrive for this match after back-to-back victories. After the Match Day 2 loss to Lazio, the Scottish giants responded by scoring seven goals in their last two games. Celtic tightened their grip atop the Scottish Premiership table by defeating Hearts 4-1 on Sunday. Wednesday's match is a must-win for Celtic if they are to make the knockout rounds

Atletico Madrid are coming off a dominant 3-0 victory away to Celta Vigo. The win, their sixth on the bounce, kept them within striking distance of top spot in La Liga. Diego Simeone's men have lost only once this season and have won an impressive nine matches in 12 outings. That run included a 3-1 win over giants Real Madrid. This form has been aided largely by their superb attacking form. The Rojiblancos have scored at least three goals a match six times. Atletico earned their first victory in Group E on matchday two as they battled to win a five-goal thriller at home against Feyenoord. The win was the perfect response to the disappointing 1-1 draw with Lazio on Match Day 1. A win here and in the return leg on Match Day 4 could leave Atletico needing only one more win to progress into the knockout stages of the Champions League.
