Wed 18th Sep, 20:00 BST, Celtic Park, Glasgow

Wednesday night sees Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic and Vladimir Weiss’s Slovan Bratislava go up against one another in a Champions League clash at the Celtic Park. All of the key stats for the encounter, including head to heads (H2Hs), predictions and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers across seventeen major markets are included in this betting preview. It's all here with the aim of helping you make a well informed, intelligent bet.

Best Tip: Celtic to win

After looking at the bookies' odds and collated stats regarding the two teams ahead of this Champions League game, a bet on win / draw / win for Celtic to win on home turf is our recommendation. We predict they'll have too much for S. Bratislava, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have a track record of doing so. It could be a tighter than we expect, but Celtic winning is the bet come Wednesday night.

Goal Statistics

Celtic's forwards have been in fine form of late, finding the net twice or more in 14 consecutive Champions League outings. A PG of 2.4 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday night.

Celtic's defensive record is very strong, Brendan Rodgers's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Champions League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Slovan Bratislava makes sense in this context.
