Best Tip: Celtic to win

After looking at the bookies' odds and collated stats regarding the two teams ahead of this Champions League game, a bet on win / draw / win for Celtic to win on home turf is our recommendation. We predict they'll have too much for S. Bratislava, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have a track record of doing so. It could be a tighter than we expect, but Celtic winning is the bet come Wednesday night.

Goal Statistics

Celtic's forwards have been excellent of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 14 consecutive Champions League games. A PG of 2.7 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday night.

With a PG of just 0.8, Slovan Bratislava look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that Celtic haven't conceded a goal in 5 consecutive Champions League games, and it could be a long night for Vladimir Weiss's men.
