Celtic v Slovan Bratislava

Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava Preview

Celtic will begin their new Champions League campaign with home advantage at their Celtic Park ground where the Scottish champions will play host to the Slovakian visitors Slovan Bratislava with Brendan Rodgers' side in confident mood having won their last 10 games on the trot in all competitions.

The Hoops have veritably exploded out of the starting blocks in the domestic Scottish Premiership as the Glasgow outfit have won their opening five games of the new campaign on the trot, collecting victories against Kilmarnock 4-0, Hibernian 2-0, St Mirren 3-0, Rangers 3-0 and Hearts 2-0, scoring a total of 14 goals and keeping clean sheets at the other end.

The bigger picture shows Celtic are now unbeaten since early March of this year which spans across some 23 games in all competitions, collecting no fewer than 21 wins in the process while also keeping a total of 11 clean sheets, thus making The Hoops a potentially tough opponent for their Slovakian visitors on Wednesday night.

Slovan Bratislava will be going in search of a third consecutive win on the road on Wednesday night when they make their way to Glasgow for this opening game of their Champions League having having previously accounted for AC Nitra in the domestic cup competition along with a 2-1 win away from home at DAC 1904 in the Slovakian Super Liga on the weekend.

The visitors will also be brimming with confidence ahead of this Champions League tie at Celtic Park as Vladimir Weiss's side have been handed just the single defeat within their previous 16 matches in all competitions.

This encouraging sequence of results include picking up 12 wins along the way while results away from home have also shown plenty of promise as Slovan Bratislava are unbeaten in their last eight outings on the road as well.

However, the Slovakian visitors have managed to keep just three clean sheets in their last 14 Champions League ties on their travels and this could play into Celtic's hands on Wednesday night.
