Without a doubt, one can say that Dortmund and Celtic are two of Europe’s most popular and highly celebrated teams and this can easily be considered as a classic. Even if they might have lost some of the glory of old, these two teams are incredibly popular and most of all – find themselves in good form ahead of their clash.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
A 4-2 win over Bochum on Friday was the perfect warm-up for Nuri Sahin’s men before they head out in their second Champions League fixture. But it was not as easily fought off a win as the final score might suggest, as Bochum were leading 1-2 at halftime. Much like in the game with Club Brugge, Dortmund struck in the second half after the 70th minute. After the 0-0 Bundesliga draw with Werder, results show that Borussia’s fixtures returned to the usual goal tallies that one might expect as all of Dortmund’s following matches produced over 2.5 goals. At home, Nuri Sahin’s men are yet to taste defeat and have swept through the last 2 teams to visit the Signal Iduna Park with the same 4-2 result.
Celtic Team News
Celtic has continued to prove their attacking prowess not only in the Champions League but on the domestic front as well. A quick look will reveal that Brendan Rodgers’ team has scored at least 5 goals in each of their last 3 games – one Champions League bout, one game from the Scottish League Cup and most recently 6 during Celtic’s league trip to St. Johnstone. But the game with Dortmund will be an entirely different type of challenge for the Scottish team, especially when one considers that Celtic have never won an away game against German opposition.
Head-to-Head-Games
It has been quite a while since these two teams have met, as their last game was back in 1992. From a historical perspective, Borussia Dortmund have managed to win 3 times against Celtic, while the Scottish team have just one victory to their name.
Borussia Dortmund – Celtic Betting Prediction
Both teams have displayed good attacking prowess in their recent games and goals are to be expected here in my opinion, This rings true, especially after seeing that Dortmund’s defence has been leaking goals left and right but in most games thus far their attack has managed to make up for that. Celtic have also never won against German opposition in an away game and I do not expect this to change here. So, my pick is for a Borussia Dortmund win and over 2.5 goals.
