Celtic-Lipsia is a match for match day 4 of the Champions League: live TV, streaming, odds, predictions
CELTIC – LIPSIA | Tuesday 9pm
The three to one win in the match a week ago in Germany has put Leipzig back on track, who will obviously be hoping to take another positive result to stay hooked on the train leading to qualification for the Champions League round of 16. There is little doubt about the quality of the German line-up, which had an easy time against Celtic at home. It will not be like that in Scotland, especially for what will be the climate that awaits Rose’s team: a packed stadium ready to push the hosts towards a victory that could put everything into question. Yes, behind Real Madrid, who know no obstacles, anything could really happen with three days to go in the round.
A grouping, group F, which reads Shakhtar four points, Leipzig three and Celtic one: in short, it is safe to say that everything is open. Of course, there is also one thing to be said in all this: should Leipzig be able to bring their best qualities to the table, then they would have no problem winning a game against a team that is certainly far behind in many respects, starting with the technical one, of course. That is why, in a nutshell, there is a team that starts slightly ahead.
The Prediction
A match of at least one goal each. A match that could ultimately result in an away victory. Not only because of last week’s result in Germany, but also and above all because of the technical qualities of the two teams that will take the field. In short, Leipzig are slight favourites who could fly into second place in the group.
