Bayern Munich - Celtic: predictions and betting tips for the Playoff League Champion match. February 18, 2025

Match preview

In the 1/16 playoffs of the Champions League, a second-leg match will take place between Scottish Celtic and Bayern Munich. This time, the German club will be the home team, and the match will be played at the famous Allianz Arena in Munich.

If Brendan Rodgers’ team had hope for a decent result in the first match, the scoreboard told a different story. Bayern scored two goals in five minutes, and near the end of the second half, Celtic managed to score a consolation goal 10 minutes before full-time, keeping only a theoretical chance for a comeback. The final score was 2-1 in favor of Vincent Kompany’s team.

Harry Kane confirmed his incredible form this season by scoring a goal in the second half. Celtic’s head coach remains optimistic, saying that his team put pressure towards the end of the match and nothing is decided yet. However, such an outcome seems unlikely, as Bayern is gaining momentum in all competitions, and it is unlikely that Celtic can stop this powermachine, especially when playing away.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

After the loss to Bayern, Celtic played a domestic league match and confidently won 3-0. Meanwhile, Bayern drew against Bayer. In their last five matches, both teams have four wins, with Celtic suffering one defeat and Bayern recording one draw.
