Celtic vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

 by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions

Three matches into the league phase of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League, Leipzig’s win column still reads zero. They have the opportunity to change that when they travel to Celtic on Match Day 4. While The Hoops are on four points, in 20th spot, Die Roten Bullen occupy one of the relegation spots, without a point. In this preview, we will break down the stats that could define this match before offering two predictions.

On fifth November as fireworks crack through the Glasgow night skies, Celtic will hope to produce their own on the pitch. A second meeting with a German side this season presents the opportunity to banish memories of their heavy loss in the first.

Leipzig will also be hard pressed to come up with something here. Somewhat, history favors them, as Celtic have struggled previously against German opposition. The visitors have the best chance at finally winning a game in Europe this season. They’ve already beaten Celtic twice in this competition but can they do it again?

Celtic - Leipzig: Form Analysis

Celtic’s last 16 matches against German teams returned just one win and 12 defeats. Coincidentally, their only win against German opposition was against Leipzig in the 2018 Europa League, at this same venue.

The most recent of their 12 losses in that run was just over a month ago, falling 7-1 in Dortmund. They come into this game unbeaten in seven matches since their loss to Borussia Dortmund. Among those seven matches was a 0-0 draw away to Atalanta after a superb defensive showing.

To this game, the Glasgow giants carry a three-match winning run. The latest of those was a 6-0 hammering of Aberdeen in the League Cup for their fourth straight clean sheet.

Leipzig beat Celtic in both earlier meetings in the Champions League, in 2022.

Leipzig will head into this fixture feeling time is running out as they look to stem a possible early exit from the Champions League. After three straight defeats, the latest a 1-0 home loss to Liverpool, this will rank as a ‘must win’ match for the visitors.

The Germans come here on a low after their unbeaten start in the Bundesliga was brought to a halt by Borussia Dortmund. In a Saturday league match, Benjamin Sesko’s opener was relegated to a mere consolation after Dortmund’s comeback in a 2-1 win.

In their last visit to Celtic, Leipzig managed a 2-0 win. That was in 2022, marking a third win in four in this fixture.

Celtic & Leipzig Squad Analysis

Kyogo Furuhashi has for the past few seasons been the go-to person for goals at Celtic. He has one Champions League goal this season, but in all club matches he netted six times.

There will also be a lot expected from Daizen Maeda, who scored three in Celtic’s demolition of Aberdeen. He also scored in their loss to Dortmund and will hope to carry his good streak here.

As Celtic are set to face a stern test against Leipzig’s attack, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel will need to be on top of his game again. Against Atalanta, he made seven good saves and will be looked upon again here.

There was some good sighting on Saturday as Callum McGregor started the Aberdeen win, returning to the team following recovery from injury. The Scotland international has four goals to his name.

Benjamin Sesko rediscovered his scoring form this weekend after seven matches without a goal.

At Leipzig, the big name missing is Xavi Simons. The Dutch international is still nursing an ankle injury, which has kept him out of action since Match Day 3. He has four goals so far.

Nicolas Seiwald and David Raum are also out of this game, with adductor and ankle injuries respectively.

In this game also, there will be hopes placed on Lois Openda, scorer of six goals this season. The Belgian returned to the team in the Dortmund defeat. He will team up with Benjamin Sesko who just returned to scoring ways, and togerther they'll pose a serious threat to Celtic.

Our Celtic vs Leipzig Prediction

Buoyed by their recent form, Celtic will go into this game believing they can get something from it. Their recent matches have been highlighted by high scores and this could be another. The hosts will be guided by playing at home as a reason to go for a win.

On the other hand, Leipzig will be pushed by the fact they are winless so far in Europe. With such considerations, we do not expect either side to sit back, so you can expect multiple goals in this encounter. Our prediction for Celtic v Leipzig is for over 2.5 goals.

Celtic vs Leipzig - Other Interesting Predictions

Both teams to score

Odds 1.53

In the last 10 Champions League matches Leipzig didn’t keep a clean sheet, yet they failed to score in just two of the matches. With the quality they carry in attack, we don’t expect the Germans to fail to score here.

Celtic are also coming here on a good scoring run and only failed to net once in the last four Champions League matches. Going by these stats, our second prediction for this match is for both teams to score.
