The upcoming clash between Celtic and Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League promises to be an intriguing encounter, as both teams vie for crucial points in their respective campaigns. Celtic, currently leading the Scottish Premiership and unbeaten in nine matches, is expected to field a formidable lineup featuring key players such as Kuhn, Furuhashi, and Maeda . In contrast, Club Brugge has struggled for consistency this season but enters the match on a positive note following several recent victories . The contrasting forms of both teams set the stage for a potentially competitive match.
The Bhoys have gone on to secure seven wins and two draws, highlighted by a historic 0-0 draw against Atalanta for their first European clean sheet away in seven years, a dominant 6-0 win over then-unbeaten Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-final and a 3-1 victory over Leipzig on matchday four of the Champions League.
Celtic scores at least 2 goals in 17 consecutive home games. We don't see any circumstances under which this streak might end. Club Brugge also has good prospects in terms of scoring: in 19 out of 20 away matches, they score at least one goal. We believe both opponents will have good chances in attack. And the trend where over 2.5 goals have been scored in 15 out of 17 home games for Celtic may well continue. Our editorial team considers this match to be potentially "high-scoring," making a bet on total over 2.5 goals look most promising.
Probable teams
Celtic (4-3-3): Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Furuhashi, Maeda Subs: Scales, McCowan, Ralston, Forrest, Bernardo, Valle, Idah
Club Brugge (4-2-3-1): Mignolet; Seys, Ordonez, Mechele, De Cuyper; Jashari, Onyedika; Skov Olsen, Vanaken, Tzolis; Jutgla Subs: Romero, Spileers, Nielsen, Audoor, Vermant, Talbi, Skoras
Christos Tzolis netted four times in that Jupiler League success, while midfielder Hans Vanaken was also on target, having scored the winner from the penalty spot against Villa in their previous Champions League outing.
Brugge have lost 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund and 3-1 to AC Milan alongside a 1-0 away win at Sturm Graz and the victory over a Villa side that hadn’t previously dropped a point.
While predictions regarding the match outcome remain uncertain due to both teams' fluctuating form , Celtic's strong home record in recent Champions League fixtures gives them an edge.
