Celtic vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Prediction
Celtic have had mixed fortunes lately, and they will go to their home game in the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen, hoping to stabilize things. The Scottish side has no point in Group G after suffering a 4-3 loss at Real Betis on Match Day 1, while Germans Bayer Leverkusen beat Ferencvaros 2-1. Celtic are coming from a 1-1 draw with Dundee United, a third winless outing for them in their last five matches, and they have just two clean sheets in the last seven games. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve only failed to score in one of their last five games. In three of their last five matches, Celtic have managed to score three goals in each. They’ve scored the opening goal in four of their last five matches, including the 4-3 loss to Betis, and going to this game they’ve scored in each of their last 18 matches. At home, Celtic are unbeaten in the last eight matches, winning seven and keeping clean sheets in six. At home in the Europa League, Celtic have three straight wins, and have scored two or more goals in all three.
Bayer Leverkusen are on a much better run of form as they go this game; they’ve won four of their last five matches and are coming straight from a 1-0 win over Mainz in the Bundesliga. They are second in Bundesliga and have been impressive in attack, scoring in each of their eight matches this season. Florian Wirtz has come out as a key player in recent games, with five goals in five matches and joins the already lethal Mousa Dembele and Patrick Schick. The last time Leverkusen were in Scotland, March 2020, they thrashed Rangers 3-1 and they will be hoping for the same here. In their last five Europa League matches, they have three wins and two losses while they have scored two or more goals in four of the five matches. They’ve trailed in their last three Europa League matches, and away from home, they have three losses in five in this competition. Leverkusen have no clean sheet in the last five away matches in Europa League and have conceded two or more goals in four of the last five. They have conceded the first goal in three of five away matches in Europa League.

Our Celtic vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Celtic have a good run at home and have been quick off the blocks in their recent matches. They have scored first in four of their last five games, and are on three straight wins in the last three home matches in Europa League. Leverkusen are slow starters, as evidenced in their recent matches in this competition but they have very good quality in attack and can score at any time. While both sides scoring looks great on this game, Celtic scoring the first goal comes with good value.
