RB Leipzig Preview
RB Leipzig has not had an easy ride in this edition of the UEFA Champions League. The team coached by German Marco Rose didn’t win yet and their qualification to the next round is getting complicated; this RB Leipzig vs Celtic will undoubtedly be a decisive duel.
In the most recent round of the Champions League, the Germans lost 2-0 against the ostentatious Real Madrid, in a match where Federico Valverde and Marco Asensio scored for Real Madrid. Despite the result, Leipzig fought tooth and nail against one of the continent’s most expensive payrolls.
Absences: Konrad Laimer, Lukas Klostermann, Dani Olmo.
Possible RB Leipzig lineup: Peter Gulasci; Mohamed Simakan, Willi Orban, Josko Gvardiol, David Raum; Kevin Kampl, Xaver Schlager; Dominik Szoboszlai, Emil Forsberg, Christoper Nkunku; Timo Werner.
Celtic Preview
Celtic are enjoying a fantastic run in their home league. The Scottish team leads the Scottish Premiership with 7 wins and only one loss. The team coached by Australian Ange Postecoglou has not had the same luck in this edition of the UEFA Champions League 2022/23 as they occupy third place in Group F with a draw and a defeat.
In the most recent matchday against Shakhtar, the Scots drew 1-1. For this RB Leipzig vs Celtic match, the visitors will have to be precise in their attacks on the opponent’s goal, as this is the only way to salvage at least a point that would be worth gold at this stage of the competition.
Absences: Carl Starfelt.
Possible Celtic lineup: Joe Hart; Josip Juranovic, Stephen Welsh, Moritz Jenz, Greg Taylor; Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley; Liel Abada, Kyogo Furuhashi, Jota.
JefeBet Prediction
For this RB Leipzig vs Celtic matchup, we’re leaning towards RB Leipzig as the winner. Defender Carter-Vickers, who plays a key role for Celtic, is likely to be absent, which would make it difficult for the visitors. Beyond this, the home team’s absolute need to get the three points may lead the way.
Prediction: RB Leipzig win 1-0.
