Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Celtic will look to build on a splendid 6-0 win over Aberdeen when they take on Leipzig in a highly-anticipated Champions League game. The Hoops are on a three-match winning run in all competitions and they did well to hold Atalanta to a goalless draw in their last group game. As Brendan Rodgers has a full squad to choose from, we predict that the Scottish champions are going to grab something from Tuesday’s Champions League clash.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund. As Leipzig have suffered a loss in each of their first three Champions League games, we are tempted to put our money on Celtic. All Raum, Schlager, and Simons are sidelined for the Bundesliga outfit, while the likes of Openda, Ouedraogo, and Seiwald are rated doubtful for the Celtic Park showdown.
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.
