Prediction: 2-1
Slovan Bratislava
Celtic will be looking to continue their strong start to the season when they take on Slovan Bratislava in their Champions League clash at Celtic Park. The Hoops have made a perfect start to the Premiership campaign, and with no fresh injury concerns, they are expected to field a full-strength squad. Celtic’s home advantage and experience in European competitions make them clear favorites to pick up all three points from the match.
Slovan, on the other hand, are lacking in Champions League experience, which could be a major disadvantage against a team of Celtic’s caliber. The Slovak outfit will also be without duo Adler - Pauschek due to injuries, further weakening their chances of causing a surprise in Glasgow. Given Celtic’s form and Slovan's struggles with injuries and lack of experience on the European stage, we predict that the Scottish champions are going to emerge triumphant in Wednesday's showdown. The two teams meet for the first time in the elite competition.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
