Dortmund vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips (1 October)

Finalist in the last edition of the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund got their new campaign off to a flying start by defeating Club Brugge on the road 0-3. A victory that was anything but trivial since the bees remained on an uncompromising run of four matches in all competitions without defeat, including two successes in three championship days against Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 and Heidenheim 4-2. On the other hand, what followed after the victory in the Champions League was not up to par with a correction suffered on the lawn of a C1 caliber opponent, Stuttgart defeated 5-1. Last weekend, BVB tried to build confidence against Bochum at home to follow. Celtic are very little worried in their championship and with their masterful victory against Slovan Bratislava during the first day 5-1, the Scottish champion recorded a 7th victory in as many matches since the start of the season, in all competitions.

Obviously, Celtic did not stop there and won the League Cup a few days later against Falkirk 5-2, thus increasing their series of successes to 8. First in their championship with 15 points, the Scots traveled to the St. Johnstone pitch last weekend as part of a championship day, with the aim of achieving a 9th victory in all competitions in 9 matches this season. to be continued. 

Absent with a groin injury for several matches, the important Reyna (American international) could once again be missing. On the other hand, this is the only concern for Sahin (coach) who will be able to count on his flagship recruit Guirassy (28 goals last season with Stuttgart) who scored in his first Champions match coming off the bench. English crack Jamie Gittens (2 goals, 1 assist in BL this season) scored twice against Club Bruges also coming off the bench. Also in good shape at the start of the season, the dynamite Adeyemi (2 pawns in the Bundesliga) should be in good shape, as are the important Malen (Dutch international), Brandt, and the midfielder made up of Gross (ex-Brighton), the Austrian international Sabitzer and Emre Can.

 Recently injured in a calf, the Pole Newrocki has since returned to the group and therefore, no injury to report for Celtic who will be able to rely on their scorers during the 1st day which are Engels (arrived from Augsburg this summer), Liam Scales (starter in the central hinge), the Japanese striker Furuhashi (14 goals, 5 assists in the league last season), his compatriot but with international status Maeda (1 goal, 2 goals this season) and the Irish international Idah (scorer coming off the bench in the Champions and author of a double in the League Cup in the process). Let's not forget to mention the good start to the season in the championship of McCowan (3 goals), McGregor (3 pawns) and German rookie Kuhn (2 pawns, 2 assists).
