Celtic are far from the best eight teams in the new, redesigned Champions League, but the Scottish side could have a solid chance to fight for a place in the 1/16 finals phase. Celtic have a perfect start to the 2024/25 season with six wins from six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 2-0 at home against Hearts. The home side dominated. Brendan Rodgers' team finished the match with 75% ball possession and 12 shots on the goal more than the guests, so that was another comfortable victory.
This season, Slovan Bratislava, for the first time in the club's history, qualified for the Champions League. Since the 2024/25 season started, Slovan Bratislava already played 15 matches in all competitions and won 11 of them. In the last game, they won 2-1 on the road against Dunajska Streda. Guests probably expected a much easier victory, but the home side had the lead since the start of the second half. Still, Slovan Bratislava found the net two times until the end and picked up another victory.
Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava pick: Over 2.5 goals
Celtic scored 11 goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Slovan Bratislava scored one goal fewer in their previous four games. Both these teams are high-scoring, so we should see at least four goals on Wednesday night in Glasgow.
Celtic team news
After a win against Hearts, Celtic's head coach, Brendan Rodgers, was very confident about his team's chances in the Champions League. He said, "The mindset is strong. We're ready to attack the competition. We know the level that we're playing at, but it's OK. We will go, and we'll give it everything."
