RB Leipzig take on the visitors Celtic in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 5th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
RB Leipzig was one of the biggest disappointments of the start of the season. The Bulls had a hard start last year as well. But then Tedesco was able to change everything: he pulled his wards to the 4th, "League Champion" place in the Bundesliga, and then he also took the cup. But after the summer holidays, the team started in such a way that Domenico was not saved by these achievements either. By the way, Shakhtar's hosting was fatal for the ex-. The Donetsk club, albeit not without luck, won devastatingly, 4-1. After that, Marco Rose appeared on the coaching post, and he began with a crushing victory over Borussia Dortmund. However, then a trip to Madrid followed, which brought a new defeat, 0-2. But Bochum at the weekend, after a pause for the games of national teams, was smashed 4-0, showing that they are still coming to life.

Celtic are finally back in the Champions League group stage. The Hoops are considered a major force in Scottish football. Only Steven Gerrard and his Rangers prevented a 10th title in a row. But in the last Premiership draw, already under Postecoglu, it was possible to regain the “gold”. This is not only the return of the trophy, but also the right to play in the group stage of the Champions League - an important option, because in the past, year after year, the "green-white" failed to qualify. However, so far this is the main reason for joy. After all, the return was framed by defeat - even an injury to Karim Benzema did not prevent Real Madrid from confidently taking 3 points at Hampden Park. Then, in Poland, the Scots looked more active than the hosts owner of the arena, Shakhtar. But, having scored quickly, not without luck (with an own goal by Bondarenko), then they missed Mudryk, and in the end they were limited to only 1-1.
In 2018, in autumn, the clubs played among themselves in the group stage, but in the Europa League. Then they exchanged victories on own fields: 2-0 in Leipzig, 2-1 in Glasgow. RB Leipzig are definitely stronger than they were under Tedesco, so Celtic won't have a chance away. You can even try betting on the hosts with a handicap of "-1".
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with -1.0 handicap.
