Celtic vs. Real Madrid: Preview and betting tips

The last Champions League group stage winner Real Madrid enters the group stage on Tuesday. They fly to Scotland to take on Celtic Glasgow. What to expect from the game and what to bet on?

Celtic have had an impressive start to the new season, winning six rounds of the Scottish Premiership with a goal difference of +24. Over the weekend, they also beat city rivals Rangers FC 4-0 to pull within five points.

Real are also unbeaten in the domestic competition, they are first with 12 points after four rounds, two points ahead of second-placed Barcelona. On the other hand, the luck of the draw was in his favour at the start of the season, with Celtic the first real test.

The mainstay of the home team is the talented 20-year-old winger Liel Abada, the Israeli international has scored six times and assisted once. Japanese international and left winger Kyogo Furuhashi also scored six goals.

On the away side, Karim Benzema, the French striker and leading candidate for the Ballon d’Or, has scored four times and assisted once. Vinicius has three accurate shots and two goal assists.

Celtic rely on a solid defence, with one goal conceded they are unrivalled in the Scottish league.

Real, on the other hand, have the best attack in La Liga with eleven goals scored, scoring at least twice more in the last seven games.

Considering the form of Real’s attack and especially the Benzema factor, I think Real will win.
