Analysis:
Group F of the
Champions League with Celtic have a good chance to qualify into the knockout
phase, as the Scottish champions drawn with RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donestk,
the host knowing if they can get 3 wins from this group stage may be just
enough. However, Celtic had never met up with Real Madrid on the European
stage, they had experienced beating Barcelona twice in their last 15 years, but
not the Galatico giant!
Real Madrid expect
to ease past the group, however, their defense had been a bit leaky at the back
since the start of the new La Liga season. They had not kept a clean sheet from
the last 4 straight games conceded against weaker opponents which you can see
below.
Celtic will have
their influential Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi missing, as he went off five
minutes into the Old Firm Derby on Saturday and is not expected to feature
here.
Real Madrid have a
full strength squad pretty much, and bookies insist the opening Asian Goal Line
tracking at 2.75 goals med water odds, all eyes still on high goals result.
Recommendation:
Over 2.5 goals @
1.65 with Ladbrokes
Standard Goal Line
- Over 2.75 goals I still expect this game should end up at least 3 goals or
more!
