RB Leipzig
Last season RB Leipzig reached the semi-finals of the Europa League after finishing third in the Champions League. After winning the DFB Pokal last term and finishing fourth in the Bundesliga the Red Bulls are playing straight in the group stages. However, the start is not what all the Lepaiger fans expected as their team has zero points from two games.
Nevertheless, Leipzig are entering this match after two convincing wins in their last two home games over Dortmund by 3-0 and Bochum by 4-0. Hence, morale is high in coach Domenico Tedesco’s men as the Italian hopes his team’s attacking performance will be present in Wednesday’s game and record their first win in the group.
Celtic
After a heavy loss in their opening game at the hands of Champions Real Madrid in Glasgow, Celtic drew their second game with Shakhtar in Poland. With that win, the Bhoys are now third in Group F three points behind the second-placed Shakhtar. Celtic were the better team in that game and deserved to secure the three points.
However, coach Ante Postecoglu’s men missed many chances and even their goal was an own goal by Shakhtar. To point out, Celtic had six shots on goal after 70 dangerous attacks throughout the game but none of their players found the back of the net. After a Scottish Premier League last weekend over Motherwell, Postecoglu will hope his team will carry that momentum to Leipzig.
The bookies are favoring Leipzig for a win despite the German side’s two defeats so far in the CL. Most probably The Red Bulls’ last two home wins had a big impact on the bookmakers and the fact that the Germans did so well last season in the UEL makes them clear favorites in Wednesday’s game.
The bet Leipzig to win combined with 2-3 goals to be scored in this match has odds of 3.20 at 22Bet and a high probability of realizing. To explain, Leipzig’s two home wins this season ended with 2-3 goals while Celtic’s last two defeats in all competitions also ended with the same number of goals.
