Celtic vs Club Bruges Betting Tips: BTTS / Celtic to Win
Another high-paced and competitive Champions League contest should be expected when two in-form sides clash in Glasgow on Wednesday evening.
Hosts Celtic return to home comforts after extending their winning run to six matches with a comfortable 3:0 win at Hearts on Saturday evening. Unbeaten in ten games since a 7:1 thrashing at Borussia Dortmund, the Scottish champions have won all but two of 20 games played across all competitions this season.
Dominant in domestic home matches, Celtic have taken their Parkhead form into Europe this season. The Hoops scored wins against Slovan Bratislava (5:1) and RB Leipzig (3:1) extending their winning run in UCL home fixtures to three. The Scots also claimed a 0:0 draw in Italy against Atalanta, leaving them with a healthy tally of seven points from four UCL matches.
Goals can always be expected when Celtic are in action in the UCL, particularly in home games. The Glaswegians have seen BTTS in eight of their last ten Champions League games at Parkhead, including each of their last five.
Brugge make the trip to Glasgow in similarly strong form with a thumping 7:0 win against St Truiden extending their unbeaten run to six matches (W5, D1).
The Belgians have made a decent start to their UCL campaign with two wins and two defeats recorded from four games. A 1:0 win against Aston VIlla in their most recent UCL outing has given Nicky Hayen´s side plenty of reason to be confident of their chances this week.
On the road, Bruges have seen BTTS in two of their last three UCL games, while they only failed to score in two of ten previous Champions League road matches.
With both teams in such good form, BTTS should prove a reliable choice, while I also expect home advantage to give Celtic the edge in a likely end-to-end matchup in Glasgow.
