Celtic vs Bayern Munich – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Celtic welcome Bayern Munich to Glasgow this evening in the Champions League’s play-off round.

The Scottish champions are into the knockout stages for the first time in over a decade. Brendan Rodgers will be hoping his team can continue an impressive campaign with an upset of the German giants.

Celtic are unbeaten on home soil in Europe this season. The Bhoys won three of their four games at Parkhead in the league phase, including a 3-1 win over Bundesliga opposition in RB Leipzig.

Bayern, in contrast, have struggled on the road. Vincent Kompany’s men lost three times away from home in the league phase with defeats at Barcelona, Aston Villa and Feyenoord. However, the Bavarians have never lost to Celtic in four previous meetings.
