Team Previews, Form and Standout Players - A Chance to turn things around?

The away side are going through somewhat of an inconsistent patch at the moment. However, they still have the depth to compete with some of the very best in Europe.

Celtic Preview

Celtic Predicted Line-up: Kasper Schmeichel; Greg Taylor, Auston Trusty, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Anthony Ralston; Arne Engels, Paulo Bernardo, Luke McCowan; Luis Palma, Kyogo Furuhashi, Yang Hyun-Jun

Celtic look unstoppable right now. They’re fresh off the back of a 6-0 thrashing of Aberdeen in the league cup, which was a huge sign of their strength after the strong start to the campaign from the opposition.

The Scottish Champions were also able to stun the Champions League last time out with a 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava. It means that despite their initial draw and loss, they’re now 20th in the league table ahead of the likes of Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Girona, Atletico Madrid and many more.

At home they also look exquisite. They haven’t lost a home game since December of 2023. That’s almost 11 months of unbeaten football at Celtic Park.

RB leipzig Preview

RB Leipzig Predicted Line-up: Péter Gulácsi; Lutsharel Geertruida, Willi Orbán, Lukas Klostermann, Benjamin Henrichs; Antonio Nusa, Arthur Vermeeren, Amadou Haidara, Christoph Baumgartner; Benjamin Šeško, Loïs Openda

Leipzig are an established European team. Despite Celtic’s recent strong form, the away side have shown that they can compete with the very best in this competition not too long ago.

They’ve reached the last 16 in four of their last five UCL campaigns and even got as far as the semi-finals for the 2019/20 season.

Leipzig are also second within a hotly contested Bundesliga table. They’ve conceded the least goals in the league (5) and are just three points off the top spot. This is not a side to be taken lightly.
