Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic Odds

Borussia Dortmund may have beaten Brugge by three goals in their opening game, but the scoreline flattered the victors. Jamie Gittens scored a quick-fire double before Serhou Guirassy netted from the penalty spot to seal the deal.

Last season’s Champions League runners-up were locked at 0-0 until the 76th minute before scoring three goals near the end to snatch the points. The home win is 1/2 on the Betfred website and mobile app.

Celtic blew away Bratislava with five goals and five different scorers in Glasgow. That result means the Bhoys enter second in the Champions League table behind Bayern Munich who scored nine goals and conceded two.

It’s still very early days, but followers of last season’s double winners are dreaming of a place in the knockout stages. An away win in Dortmund would go some way to helping them achieve that and victory is 11/2. A draw is sure to attract attention at odds of 7/2.

Back Dortmund to win to nil

Celtic haven’t lost a game or conceded a goal in the Scottish Premiership so far this season.

They warmed up for this trip with a stunning 6-0 away win over St Johnstone in Perth on Saturday evening, meaning they travel with confidence. But the standard of opponent explodes as they head to the home of a team that came agonisingly close to winning this trophy just a few months ago.

Dortmund lost 2-0 to Real Madrid in June’s final at Wembley, and fans believe their club can learn from that near-miss and go one better this term. BVB hammered Bochum 4-2 at this venue on Friday evening and fully deserve to be the strong pre-match favourites.

Celtic have never scored in two previous trips to Dortmund, and we expect that run to continue. Back Borussia Dortmund to call on the home support and their big-match experience to secure a solid win to nil at 7/4. That price means followers have something to work with on Tuesday.
