One of Tuesday's more interesting UEFA Champions League clashes is the fixture set to take place at Celtic Park. It's Scotland vs Germany as Celtic and RB Leipzig go head-to-head in Glasgow. The visitors are quite strongly fancied by the early market, but we know that this Celtic team can dig in and frustrate, while in front of what is always a roaring home crowd, they could quite easily make offensive headway too.

Our Celtic vs Leipzig Prediction

This is a big game for the hosts, who did a fantastic job of standing strong away against Atalanta during the previous round of UCL games. Now back on home soil, they'll be looking to get more involved offensively, and helping them do that will be the hungry and anything but shot shy Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, who has been shooting with great regularity in recent matches. Given his rather encouraging stats, he looks generously priced to work the Leipzig goalie at least once. Our Pick: Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn Over 0.5 Shots on Target. 

Prediction:

 

Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn Over 0.5 Shots on Target
