Barcelona vs Celtic Predictions and Betting Tips, Preview

Barcelona vs Celtic predictions and betting tips for the first Champions League group game for both teams this season and the best odds for each bet selected.

 

Barcelona welcome Celtic to the Nou Camp on Tuesday with kick off scheduled for 19:45 in this group C Champions League game, surely it will be a walk in the park for Barcelona? Celtic will have other ideas though and confidence will be high following their 5-1 thrashing of neighbours Rangers at the weekend.

 

Barcelona vs Celtic Predictions

 

The first group game of the Champions League has finally arrived and this is where we to get to see the best teams from all over Europe fight to prove they are the best around. Barcelona had a little scare at the weekend when they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Deportivo Alaves however they did not start full strength resting the likes of Suarez, Messi and Iniesta who were later introduced but couldn’t influence the game enough to turn it around. Barca will surely start full strength here as they will look to put some points on the board and get over the poor result from their previous game.

 

Celtic once again are not expected to progress very far; it seems to be the same old story when they reach this stage of the competition in that they always seem to be out by Christmas. They come in to this game full of confidence after a resounding 5-1 victory in the Old Firm derby at the weekend. Celtic face a very tough group this time around in which the likes of Man City will have their work cut out for them to get through, however I’m sure Rodgers won’t go down without a fight and will hopefully pull of a shock result or two.

 

Barcelona are as always the bookies favourite, it is nice to back against them for the shock results but it isn’t worth it here for our Champions League betting tips. They are very likely to go full strength as this is a competition they take very seriously and cannot risk dropping points in such a tough group. The attack force of MSN are going to be back and will give them the win and I hope their defence will be able to deal with the Scottish attacks. My first Barcelona vs Celtic prediction is Barcelona to win to nil at 8/13 with Stan James.

BTTS Over 2.5 Goals Tips

Following on from this, I don’t expect Celtic to score and I have mentioned how I feel about Barca’s attacking force and how they will take no prisoners. I am hoping for a dominant performance from the Spanish giants here and my second Barcelona vs Celtic betting tip is BTTS No and over 2.5 goals at 13/10 with Coral.

Correct Score Tips

We all love a correct score bet and that is what I am going with here. Barcelona will overpower Celtic all over the pitch and will punish them to firstly get over their weekend blip and secondly get those much needed points on the board. I am sticking with my gut and above predictions so my third Barcelona vs Celtic betting tip is from the correct score odds and it is going to be Barcelona to win 3-0 at 13/2 with Paddy Power.
