Celtic are unbeaten in the league efforts yet have struggled to contend with their European opposition, claiming their first point last time out. This could be their opportunity to turn things around yet Atleti may smell blood in the water.
Spanish Scoring Spree
Atletico Madrid matches have seen a massive amount of goals this season and one can see this continuing on into their match against Celtic.
82% of their matches have seen three or more goals, including their last match against Celtic ending in a 2-2 draw.
Now, while the Bhoys may not be able to replicate their fine performance on the road, and even if this were to place the scoring onus Madrid the over would still seem likely.
Atletico Madrid vs Celtic Tip 1: Over 3 Goals @6/4 with bet365
Shooting on home soil
Madrid despite an unfortunate draw, were in fine form against Celtic and this is something they would want to improve on at home.
They had six shots on target last time out against the Scottish side and when buoyed by their home fans should only act to increase this.
Averaging 7.2 shots on target per home game, they are perfectly capable of hitting the line against Celtic, especially with their in-form strike force.
Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann are both scoring in droves and should be able to help out the line in a meaningful way.

Griezmann getting into good positions
Antoine Griezmann has become revitalised since returning to the club where he made his name, impressing in all categories particularly in front of goal.
He had five separate shots in their previous fixture two such of these being on target, as well as missing a penalty.
While this wasn’t ideal for him it does bring his shots on target line closer as he should have ample opportunity to fire a few goalwards.
