Celtic vs Barcelona Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Celtic vs Barcelona betting tips and predictions for this week’s Champions League fixture with a correct score prediction and the best odds for each selection.

 

Celtic host Barcelona on Wednesday night, and the Scottish champions are eyeing up another shock win. Can they follow up their 2012 victory with a result at Celtic Park? That would put them on course to sneak in to a Europa League spot.

 

Celtic vs Barcelona Predictions

 

The memories of that 7-0 defeat in the Camp Nou will probably live with many of these Celtic players forever. That was a humbling experience, but they’ve not stopped leaking goals since. They may have only conceded once away to a blunt Borussia Monchengladbach, but they conceded two at home, and three to Manchester City in the game before that. The Scottish champions have shipped three goals or more in their last three meetings with Barca, and we can see the Spanish champions scoring a few here. Having drawn a blank at the weekend, they’ll want to bounce back, so our first Celtic vs Barcelona betting tip is over 2.5 goals for the visitors at 21/20 with Coral.

Celtic have picked up their scoring record in recent European games, after they claimed a 1-1 draw away to Gladbach last time out. They put three goals past an in-form Man City here, and we can see them scoring against Barcelona. Moussa Dembele did miss a penalty in the 7-0 loss, and we can see them being more clinical in front of a roaring Celtic Park crowd. We’re going with an away win and both teams to score for the second Celtic vs Barcelona prediction, which is 7/4 with Betfair.

Barcelona welcome back Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez here, who missed their 0-0 with Malaga on Saturday. Andres Iniesta remains out. Samuel Umtiti remains out for the Catalans. Brendan Rodgers is without Kris Commons, who has been out for six months, while Leigh Griffiths is a doubt. Youngster Kieran Tierney is another who is unavailable.

 

Head to Head Stats
