Bayern Munich vs Celtic Tips

Tip 1

Olise has 12 assists across all competitions since making the switch from Crystal Palace and the Premier League to Bayern Munich.

He’s managed half of these in his last 13 games, and continues his path as more of a provider than goalscorer – 22 assists and 14 goals for Palace, seven goals and 13 assists for Reading and 10 assists to six goals in the league this term.

With Olise averaging 0.40 assists per 90 in a Bayern shirt, this bet offers slight value at the current odds of 7/4.

Tip 2

Maeda is one of only two home players to muster a shot on target in last week’s 2-1 defeat to this opponent, with his goal keeping Celtic still in the tie for this second leg trip to Munich.

The Celtic forward carries a 44% shot accuracy in the SPL this campaign and across all competitions is averaging a decent 1.75 shots per 90.

He’s also struck at least one shot on target in 5/8 in this competition, including three of the last four outings.

The Bavarians produced a tepid performance in an undramatic 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening.

Joao Palhinha should return to the matchday squad after recovering from illness, although this second leg may still come too soon for both Alphonso Davies and Daniel Peretz.

Bayern Munich Predicted XI: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Ito; Goretzka, Kimmich; Olise, Musiala, Sané; Kane.

Celtic Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Brendan Rodgers’ side resumed usual business in the Scottish Premiership by defeating Dundee United 3-0 following last Wednesday’s UCL first leg defeat to Bayern.

The Hoops must make do without absentees James Forrest and Paulo Bernardo for the trip to Germany.

Celtic Predicted XI: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor; McGregor, Hatate, Engels; Maeda, Idah, Jota.
