Celtic vs Bayern Munich – Bayern Munich to Score Over 2.5 Goals
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Bayern Munich to Score Over 2.5 Goals | |
1/1 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Bayern's attacking strength, led by Kane, Musiala, and Sané, should overpower Celtic’s defence. Expect an open game, with Bayern likely winning 3-1 or 4-1. | |
Rationale:
Bayern Munich have consistently demonstrated their attacking dominance in Europe, having scored 20 goals across their eight group stage games. Even when results haven’t gone their way, their ability to find the net has never been in doubt.
Celtic have performed well at home this season, collecting 10 points from four matches at Parkhead, but they have struggled against top-level opposition. Their 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa exposed defensive weaknesses that Bayern are more than capable of exploiting.
Harry Kane’s return to the British Isles provides extra motivation for the striker, while Musiala and Sané add creativity and directness to Bayern’s forward play. Given Celtic’s aggressive approach at home, this could turn into an open contest, which will suit Bayern’s counter-attacking strengths.
With Bayern averaging 2.5 goals per game in the Champions League this season, they should comfortably surpass this threshold once again. A 3-1 or 4-1 scoreline seems like a strong possibility.
Best bet – Bayern Munich to Score Over 2.5 Goals
Key Factors Behind This Selection:
1. Bayern’s Exceptional Attacking Record
The Bundesliga leaders have scored at least three goals in five of their last six matches in all competitions. Their firepower remains among the best in Europe.
2. Celtic’s Defensive Vulnerabilities
Rodgers’ team have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five games against elite opposition, including defeats to Dortmund and Aston Villa in this competition.
3. Harry Kane’s Influence
With 21 Bundesliga goals already, Kane has been Bayern’s most reliable goal-scorer and thrives on the big stage. His movement and finishing ability should create major problems for Celtic’s defence.
