Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic prediction

Last season’s losing finalists Borussia Dortmund started this season’s UEFA Champions League edition with a big 3-0 away win over Club Brugge on matchday 1, giving them 5th place in the early table standings. Nuri Sahin’s men will be full of confidence going into this match since they are coming from another big victory in the Bundesliga after they dismissed Bochum 4-2 on Friday night. New signing Serhou Guirassy struck twice in that game, and already opened his UCL account as well after coming on as a substitute against Brugge. He is expected to get his first UCL start for Dortmund in this match.

Celtic is another team that started the UCL group stage with a bang, their 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava putting them 2nd on the table behind Bayern Munich. The Scottish outfit are set to be tested by a much tougher opponent this time round, and on top of that, they go away to Germany. Nevertheless, they can draw confidence from their sizzling hot form. Celtic have won all their last 5 matches across all competitions and scored 21 goals in the process.

A meeting between two attacking teams that are both enjoying good form always promises lots of goals, and this fixture is no different. Both teams are coming off huge victories over the weekend as Celtic registered a 6-0 win over St Johnstone on Saturday. Hence, our Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic prediction is Over 3.5 Goals.

Statistics for Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Team News

• Injuries: Gio Reyna is still sidelined with a groin injury he picked during the last international break. Jammie Gittens picked up a knock against Bochum but should be fine for this game
• Returning: Marcel Sabitzer is expected to be back available after missing Friday’s game against Bochum with a knock
• Starting: Striker Serhou Guirassy is likely to start his first UCL game for Dortmund. He was a late sub on matchday 1 against Brugge and got the third goal. Another super-sub Jamie Gittens, who struck twice on that day, is also making a case for a starting berth with his good performances
• Bench power: Niclas Sule, Donyell Malen, and Felix Nmecha have all performed well when given a chance this season but are yet to cement a place in the starting 11. It remains to be seen if the coach will give them a start here
