Celtic vs Real Madrid: Predictions, tips & betting odds

Champions League holders Real Madrid begin their European campaign in Glasgow on Tuesday evening, taking on Celtic in the opening match of Group F.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have started the La Liga season extremely well and are the only team left in the Spanish topflight with a 100 percent record after four matches.

Celtic meanwhile are also in impressive form having won all seven of their competitive fixtures domestically netting 29 goals in the process.

The visitors are clear favourites to get off to a winning start with bet365 offering a Real Madrid victory at 13/20 (1.65).

Last season on their way to lifting the trophy, Los Blancos won all three of their matches on the road in the group stages.

The Scottish champions for their part are available at 7/2 (4.50) with the draw priced at 10/3 (4.33).

Celtic vs Real Madrid first goal scorer

The top scorer in the competition last season Karim Benzema is priced at 11/4 (3.75) to open the scoring but it is his strike partner Vinicius Junior who has started the season in more impressive fashion.

The young Brazilian is available at 5/1 (6.00) to break the deadlock, with his compatriot Rodrygo Goes offered at 13/2 (7.50).

The shortest priced Celtic player to open the scoring is Kyogo Furuhashi who is expected to feature despite suffering an injury at the weekend.

The Japanese forward is offered at 6/1 (7.00) with team-mate Daizen Mazeda at 7/1 (8.00).

Celtic vs Real Madrid preview

Ancelotti's men have started the season well domestically but are yet to keep a clean sheet in La Liga.

At the weekend Real Betis managed to put one past Thibaut Courtois while previously this term Almeria, Celta Vigo and Espanyol have all managed to score against Real Madrid.

That will give heart to a Celtic side who have been in rampant scoring form and roared on by a passionate home crowd, Ange Postecoglu's team should be able to contribute to an entertaining encounter.

Madrid have scored in 28 of their last 32 Champions League matches but given their lack of clean sheets this season, backing goals at back ends should prove profitable.

Celtic vs Real Madrid tips and predictions

Both teams to score is priced at just 8/13 (1.62) while combining this selection with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to 10/11 (1.91).

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
