Celtic and RB Leipzig face off on Tuesday in UEFA Champions League Group F showdown at Celtic Stadium. 

When these two teams faced off last Wednesday, it was RB Leipzig that were able to secure the 3-1 victory. Christopher Nkunku scored in the 27th minute to open up the scoring for RB Leipzig. Jota tied the game in the 48th minute for Celtic. Andre Silva scored two goals in the 64th and 77th minute to secure the 3-1 victory. RB Leipzig finished with 59 percent of the possession and six shots on target. Celtic had 41 percent of the possession and five shots on target. 

RB Leipzig currently sits in 3rd place in the standings, having picked up three points. RB Leipzig faced off against Mainz in the last game, and that game ended in a 1-1 draw. RB Leipzig fell behind, but it was a goal by Christopher Nkunku in the 80th minute that allowed them to come away with the draw. RB Leipzig had 65 percent of the possession and three shots on goal. Peter Gulasci will be replaced in goal by Janis Blaswich. Lukas Klostermann, Konrad Laimer and Dani Olmo are also all dealing with injuries in this game. 

Celtic currently sits in 4th place in the standings, having picked up one point so far this year. Celtic faced off against St. Johnstone in the last game, and they were able to secure a 2-1 victory. The game was tied late, but it was a goal in the 95th minute that was enough to secure the victory. Celtic had 75 percent of the possession and four shots on goal on the way to the victory. Callum McGregor suffered a knee injury, and he isn’t going to be able to go in this game. Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi are both expected to move back into the starting lineup in this game. 

This is the game I have the least amount of confidence in, just because they are both inconsistent this season. That said, RB Leipzig are the deeper team, and they have the confidence of beating the Celtic last week. This might be an ugly game, but RB Leipzig is going to find a way to secure the victory. Back RB Leipzig on the money line.
