Bayern Munich vs Celtic predictions: Bayern to finish the job in Bavaria
&w=707&quality=100)
- Bayern undefeated in their five previous meetings with Celtic
- Celtic without a win in their last 12 away games in the Champions League
- Recommended bet: Bayern Munich to win, both teams to score and over 9.5 total corners
Bayern hold a slender advantage going into the second leg at the Allianz Arena but in truth, there was a gulf in class between them and Celtic in the first leg in Glasgow.
The Bundesliga giants had 57% possession over the first leg and had three more shots on target than Celtic but allowed the Hoops a glimmer of hope going into the second leg thanks to a late goal from Daizen Maeda.
Looking to make a strong start and put this tie to bed early, expect Vincent Kompany’s side to come out of the blocks quickly when they go toe-to-toe in Bavaria on Tuesday night.
Team news
Starting with the hosts, left-back Alphonso Davies and goalkeeper Daniel Peretz are set to miss the game, while midfielder Joao Palhinha faces a race against time to be fit after a recent illness.
As for Celtic, James Forrest is out while he continues to recover from a foot issue, while Paulo Bernardo is also a doubt after missing the first leg against Bayern.

The stats
Bayern Munich and Celtic have crossed paths on five previous occasions, with Bayern winning four of them and drawing the other.
Harry Kane has scored seven goals in the Champions League already this season, while the England striker has also had 32 shots in the competition this term.
Celtic have a poor away record when it comes to the Champions League, with the Scottish Premiership title holders failing to win any of their last 12 games on the road in this tournament.
Prediction
Given Celtic’s woeful away record in this competition, it is hard to look past Bayern Munich winning on the night to secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Bayern have only kept one clean sheet in their last four home games, so Celtic might be able to get on the scoresheet on the night.
However, Bayern’s attacking prowess should see them win comfortably at Allianz Stadium and expect Celtic keeper Kasper Schmeichel to be kept busy, with over 9.5 total corners expected on the night.
Back Bayern Munich to win, both teams to score and over 9.5 total corners at 7/5 with LiveScore Bet.
