Bayern Munich vs Celtic Preview

Following a 2-1 win in the first leg, Bayern Munich will be looking to secure their place in the UEFA Champions League's Round Of 16 when they host Celtic.

Form

Bayern Munich are in strong form heading into this fixture with eight wins, one draw and one defeat in ten games in all competitions.

Vincent Kompany's side have won six of the nine Champions League games this season including the 2-1 win over Celtic in the first leg.

Bayern have been dangerous in the final third having scored 2+ in their nine Champions League games this season while six of those nine matches have featured Over 2.5 goals.

The German side have been defensively porous though having conceded in six of the nine Champions League matches.

They are strong at home though, having won all four Champions League games at home this season.

Celtic are on a good run of form with seven wins in their last ten games in all competitions but have struggled against elite opposition in the Champions League.

The Scottish side have managed only three wins in nine Champions League games this season with five of those games seeing Over 2.5 goals.

Celtic have also struggled away from home and are winless in four away Champions League games this season. Over 2.5 goals have featured in five consecutive away games in all competitions for Celtic.

Verdict

Bayern Munich v Celtic

Bayern should prove too strong for Brendan Rodgers's side but with Bayern's defensive frailties, I'll be backing goals with Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 goals valued at odds of 1.95
