Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic Analysis
Celtic have nothing to lose here and they are seen as the firm underdogs in the eyes of many backers and with all UCL betting sites.
Borussia Dortmund
Having reached the Champions League final last season, Borussia Dortmund will be doing all they can to go one better in 2025. They have a side seemingly made for playing competition football, but they have lost many of their key men from last season and are having to adapt again this term. Dortmund are always very strong at home, and they will lay down the gauntlet to Celtic from the off here.
Team news: Gio Reyna is the key absentee here for Dortmund, who look to be at full strength otherwise.
Borussia Dortmund Predicted Lineup:
Kobel, Ryerson, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini, Can, Sabitzer, Gross, Brandt, Adeyemi & Nmecha.
Celtic
Scottish champions Celtic got off to a flyer in their opening game, thumping Slovan Bratislava and they will be looking to back that performance up here. They aren’t fancied by too many punters or Champions League betting sites to reach the knockout rounds but they don’t lose too many games and Brendan Rodgers will have a plan for them here in Germany – whether it comes to fruition or not remains to be seen.
Team news: Celtic look to have a fully fit squad at their disposal here.
Celtic Predicted Lineup:
Schmeichel, Johnston, Taylor, Scales, Carter-Vickers, Engels, McGregor, Hatate, Kuhn, Maeda & Furuhashi.
Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic Prediction
This should be a highly entertaining at Borussia Park, between two sides that will fully believe in their abilities to pick up a result here. Celtic have been in blistering form so far this season domestically and in Europe and it is nights like this where they want to test themselves. However, Borussia Dortmund at home is a very tall order and the Germans should come out on top in this one.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund to win the match – 1/2 (-200) – Rhino Bet.
Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic – The Ultimate Bet
Borussia Dortmund to win & BTTS – 11/4 (+275) – Fitzdares
Celtic will look to get the ball down and play, taking the game to Dortmund and whilst this approach could land them a goal or two, the Germans should have far too much firepower for them in this one.
