In-Depth Betting Tips and Predictions for Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava

The first round of Champions League fixtures take place this week, and Celtic kick their campaign off with a home game against Slovak side Slovan Bratislava. Both sides will see this game as a must win, given the rest of their fixtures, but at home Celtic have the advantage.

After five games so far this season, Celtic are currently unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership, having not conceded a single goal. They are already five points clear of their cross city rivals Rangers and will look to continue their good form into Europe. The club has a history of performing well in European competitions, but recently there has been a lot left to be desired, especially considering their dominance in their domestic league.

This season marks the first time that Slovan Bratislava have ever qualified for the Group Stage of the Champions League. For the past five years they have been knocked out of the Champions League in the qualifying stages and have had to settle with either Europa League or Conference League football. It is very unlikely that, in their Champions League debut, they will get anywhere near to qualifying for the knockout rounds.
