Celtic v RB Leipzig

Celtic vs RB Leipzig Preview

Celtic will be seeking a fourth win in all competitions on Tuesday night when they play host to German visitors RB Leipzig and The Hoops head into this clash on the back of a resounding 6-0 win over Premiership high-flyers Aberdeen in the domestic League Cup, while RB Leipzig were handed a 2-1 defeat away from home at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on the weekend.

Following a 7-1 hammering at the hands of another German club, Borussia Dortmund, on Matchday 2 of this season's Champions League, Celtic have since put together a solid looking seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions which includes picking up three wins in the Scottish top flight.

Victories on the domestic front against Ross County, Motherwell and Dundee in the Premiership along with a Matchday 1 win against Slovakian outfit Slovan Bratislava 5-1 at Celtic Park along with a point gained in a 0-0 draw away at Atalanta will give Brendan Rodgers' side plenty of confidence for this upcoming European encounter.

However, Celtic's results and performances at Champions League level have been pretty poor as the Scottish hosts have managed to register just two wins in their last 18 ties overall which were gained over Feyenoord 2-1 and Slovan Bratislava 5-1 respectively, but also includes 11 defeats as well.

The goals market appeals though as six of Celtic's last 10 games in the Champions League have resulted in both teams scoring.

RB Leipzig will be wanting to bounce back from the 2-1 loss that they suffered on the weekend in the German Bundesliga to Borussia Dortmund when they make their way to Glasgow for this Matchday 4 clash against Celtic.

Despite slipping to a few defeats in recent times overall with losses incurred against Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Liverpool respectively in the Champions League, the visitors have also registered five wins within their last 11 games in all competitions as well.

Four wins in the domestic Bundesliga over the likes of Augsburg, Heidenheim, Mainz and Freiburg have been complemented by a DFB Pokal win against St Pauli, while the goals market may appeal here as five out of RB Leipzig's last 10 matches overall have also resulted in both teams scoring.

Results away from home though in the Champions League have produced inconsistent returns for RB Leipzig who have won five but also lost four within their last 10 outings on the road at this level, so the goals market may be the safest option for this Matchday 4 clash at Celtic Park.

Celtic v RB Leipzig Verdict

Two of the previous three meetings between Celtic and RB Leipzig have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net and having both produced inconsistent results of late, this option looks the best bet here.
