Prediction for Celtic vs Leipzig: Goals on the cards as both teams go in search of crucial Champions League points

Check out our 13/8 prediction for Celtic vs Leipzig below

The UEFA Champions Leage Group F table is a sorry sight for Celtic fans, so much so that Ange Postecoglou's side have their work cut out to even finish in third spot, which would see them drop into the Europa League.

A solitary point is hardly the return Celtic would have hoped for from their first three games and for large parts of those games, it's less than they have deserved, but the Bhoys are being made to pay a heavy price for defensive deficiencies.

Leipzig's electic offensive unit racked up a substantial xGF of 2.5 in last week's reverse fixture and were thoroughly deserving of their 3-1 success, which is why they are 23/20 favourites with Betway to repeat the trick at Celtic Park, where the hosts are 2/1 chances to gain revenge.

Celtic just couldn't cope with the incisive nature of Leipzig's attacking play on the night, with the pace and power of Christopher Nkunku, Timo Werner and Andre Silver, scorer of two of Leipzig's goals, causing the Hoops all sorts of issues. That said, Leipzig's crucial second goal did come gift-wrapped from Joe Hart and Celtic created some big moments of their own.

Chelsea-bound Nkunku gets most of the attention, understandably, and the talented French striker continued his fine scoring form by bagging the equalising goal against Mainz at the weekend to make it four in his last three. He's an 11/8 chance to score any time at Celtic Park and 9/2 to open the scoring.

Given the plethora of chances created at both ends last week, it's understandable that the BTTS (yes) price is as short as 11/20 with Betway but only the mighty Real Madrid have stopped Celtic scoring at home this season and there was more than enough
