Celtic vs Bayern Munich Tips
Tip 1
Munich have proven themselves to be flat-track bullies so far in this season’s competition, however, they’ll need to prove their worth against the big boys in the knockout phase should they progress.
Celtic have found the net in six of their European matches this term, while Bayern have just two clean sheets across the same number of games.
Wednesday’s visitors have shipped four to Barcelona and conceded three against Feyenoord, with Celtic bagging against Villa, Dortmund and Leipzig, on the other hand.
Tip 2
Kane is enjoying another stellar personal season, boasting 28 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions.
The 31 year old has bagged a brace in his last two league outings and has struck twice in a single game on 7/28 occasions.
He’s managed this bet once in this competition, rifling in four against Dinamo Zagreb on match day 1.
Morgan Rogers produced a first UCL hat-trick against the Bhoys last time out in the 4-2 defeat at Villa Park, while this week’s hosts also let seven past them when facing Borussia Dortmund in the league phase.
Celtic Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Hoops recorded a 5-0 win over Raith Rovers last time out to progress to the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup where a home tie against Hibernian awaits.
