Bayern Munich vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips (18 February)

Yet considered largely favorite at the time of the draw for this dam, Bayern Munich did not really flee the debates during the first leg. On the contrary, the German club had to rely on its stars and the prowess of its goalkeeper Neuer at the end of the match to keep the short advantage taken in a few minutes in the middle of the meeting 1-2. Vincent Kompany's players therefore have no right to relax this week to calmly validate their ticket for the 1/8th finals. During the league phase, they only took the 12th final place in the ranking with a 5 successes for 3 defeats. In the league, on the other hand, the Bavarians are still at the top of the ranking with 6 points ahead of their first pursuer that is Bayer Leverkusen that they are facing next weekend. Before this shock, Bayern had chained 7 successes of row in the Bundesliga as against the Holstein Kiel 4-3 and at Werder Bremen in particular 3-0. In front, the goal of Celtic was to be still alive after the first leg According to his coach.

Objective reached for the men of Brendan Rodgers who have certainly bowed to house 1-2 but who accuse only a small goal of delay before this 2nd round. And again, they could have deserved better without the parades of Manuel Neuer at the end of the meeting. Better than in recent seasons on the European scene, the Ecossais have offered themselves 21st place in the league phase with 12 points taken in 8 days 3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Always alone in the world in its championship, Celtic is 13 lengths ahead of its rivals, the Rangers, after their success against the Dundee FC 6-0. Next weekend, he challenges the Dundee United FC .

As in the first leg, the goalkeeper replacing Peretz and the Canadian Davies, Holder in the left corridor, are missing. Recruit Estival Ito (defender) has made his debut this season during the first leg when entering the end of the game. Sick last Wednesday, the environment Portuguese international Palinha also postulates for a place in the group. Again decisive at the start of the second period, Kane scored his 7th goal in the tournament, his 29th all competitions. A few seconds before the break, it was the French Olise who had posed the first wick by scoring a superb strike in the skylight of Schmeichel for his 5th in C1 this season. Musiala nugget (15 goals, 5 assists in all competitions this season) should also start as well as the tricolor international Upamecano in the central hinge. Of course, the Neuer wall should be renewed in the cages.

A priori, the coach Brendan Rodgers will once again take into account the absence of the winger Forrest (replacement) to compose his starting 11. Otherwise, everyone should be on the trip to the Allianz Arena this week to try to create the feat. In the cages, we will certainly find the experienced Schmeichel, author of a beautiful part in the first leg. In the heart of the game, the mcgregor tandem (6 league goals) and Engels (8 goals) should be aligned while the prolific attackers Idah (7 goals), Kühn (10 goals) and Maeda (8 goals) could compose a line rather interesting offensive. Back at the club this winter after a failed passage in Rennes, the Portuguese winger Jota is currently only replacing but he has already unlocked his counter.
