Leverkusen to win

Goals on both sides
We are tipping both teams to find the net in this game. Home advantage should be a boost for Celtic in this game even though they have been inconsistent in recent matches. The hosts have scored in all their last eight home games during which they bagged 7W and 1D.

Match Preview: Celtic Hope to get First Group G Victory at Home
Take at a look at our team previews below for more details about this fixture.
Celtic
Scottish side, Celtic lost 4-3 to Real Betis in the first match of Group G in Europa League. The result left them with a three-goal deficit behind Leverkusen. With that, we expect this fixture to be more about scoring goals, especially for the hosts if they are to have any hopes of remaining in the competition. Moreover, given that this is the first fixture between Celtic and Leverkusen, two teams that are having a good run this season, we expect head coach, Ange Postecoglou to field his strongest squad.
Leverkusen
German side, Leverkusen hopes to dislodge Real Betis from the top of the Group G Europa League table. The visitors were phenomenal in the first match and have bagged back to back victories since their first Europa League match. A three-match winning streak should give head coach, Gerardo Seoane and his traveling squad the much-need confidence coming to this match.
