Glasgow will host an interesting knockout fixture between Bayern Munich and Celtic on Wednesday in the Champions League playoffs. They’ve met four times previously, with Bayern winning three times; however, they haven’t faced each other since the 2017-18 group stage of Champions League play.

Celtic have been a surprise side advancing to the knockout stage under Brendan Rodgers, but defeating Bayern could be a tall order. The Bavarians can be suspect defensively, but they also haven’t lost in their last 13 games facing Scottish opposition, so anything but a win should be a surprise.

Team Performances

Celtic: In good form, Celtic’s only loss in their last 10 games was to Aston Villa, making this a challenging matchup. Adam Idah has scored in three consecutive matches, and they’ll need him at his best.

Celtic predicted XI: Kasper Schmeichel, Greg Taylor, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty, Alistair Johnston, Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor, Arne Engels, Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, Adam Idah, Daizen Maeda

Bayern Munich: While motivation won’t be an issue for Vincent Kompany’s side, they are favored to advance given their superiority. They’ve recorded seven consecutive wins in Bundesliga play, and with Harry Kane leading the line, they are poised for a strong performance.

Bayern Munich predicted XI: Manuel Neuer, Raphael Guerreiro, Min-Jae Kim, Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer, Alexander Pavlovik, Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, Harry Kane

Prediction

Bayern is likely to secure a lead heading back to Germany; expect a Celtic 0, Bayern Munich 3 scoreline.
