RB Leipzig vs Celtic Prediction & Betting tips
Interesting game is what awaits us this Thursday at the Red Bull Arena when the German cast RB Leipzig receives the visit of a Scottish football team as is Celtic, in play that corresponds to Group B of the UEFA Europa League.
Red Bull Leipzig:
As we have already said on other occasions, those led by Ralf Rangnick are a rookie team in participation in the main competitions called UEFA competition and even the German Bundesliga.
And the fact is that the Bulls after getting the promotion of the highest category of German football are a leading team, so in their first participation they finished in second place behind Bayern Munich and therefore they won a place in the UEFA group stage Champions League, things did not go as expected and went to the UEFA Europa League where they were close to making history, as they made it to the quarterfinals, being eliminated by Olympique Marseille that would end as runner-up.
But finally, in the current season began with some nervousness but a few are recovering and although the last weekend drew zero goals in his visit to Augsburg, it must be said that before that Leipzig added a run of five consecutive victories, where four were for the German Bundesliga and thus have climbed to the fifth box with 15 points.
But now the mind is set on getting a good result in a European League where they have started with many doubts, as they first lost at home 2-3 to Salzburg but happily regained the points lost in their visit to Rosenborg where they won 1-3 , placing itself in this way in the second place with three points, three less than the leader Salzburg so this Thursday they want to rediscover the victory against their fans in UEFA competition and thus add the third consecutive victory at home, and for that Rangnick it will be based on what two experienced players in the offensive zone can do, such as Timo Werner and Yossuf Poulsen who are the team’s top scorers with 4 goals each this season.
Celtic:
For his part, by the hand of Brendan Rodgers, the cast of Celtic has continued to show its superiority in the Premiership of Scotland, but the job you have to do is to bring all this to the UEFA competition where the scots are already good weather are not protagonists.
Recall that Celtic was runner-up in the European League in 2003 and of course without mentioning the UEFA Champions League title achieved in 1966/67.
Celtic arrives with confidence to this commitment after his last two victories, first a 0-6 against St. Johnstone and now last 4-2 on Hibernians that place him in second place in the Premiership of Scotland with 19 points, three points less than the leader Hearts, but now they have to recover from that 3-1 loss in their visit to Salzburg to climb to the first two places of the group and thus remain in competition and for that Rodgers relies on what the striker can do French Odsonne Edouard who has 4 goals in 8 matches in all competitions.
The issue for Celtic is that playing away from home in the UEFA Europa League has not been anything fruitful, since with their 3-1 loss to Salzburg they have a 13-game winless streak for this competition away from home.
