Celtic v PSG Betting Preview – UEFA Champions League 12th September 7.45pm
Celtic once again are probably going to count the cost of being landed in a tough group. As well as PSG they will also go up against Bayern Munich in the race for a qualification spot, so there are tough times ahead for the Scottish Champions again. Even on home soil, they look very vulnerable under the weight of the PSG challenge, the French side having invested very heavily in the summer in extra attacking power.

Celtic v PSG Betting Tips
So Celtic have a big challenge on their hands to try and keep PSG quiet at Celtic Park. Celtic have had a tough time of things in the competition and they will be looking to get themselves to the knockout stage for the first time since 2013, but in order to be in with a chance of that, they need their home form to improve. Celtic have claimed only the two victories in their six European matches on home soil in a D2 L2 record. They have not managed to win any of their 15 European group stage fixtures (Champions League and Europa League) with a D7 L8 record. Specifically, in the Champions League proper, the Scottish Champions have posted a D1 L5 record in their last six games. The last time that they won a game in the competition was back in October 2013 when they beat AJax 2-1 at Celtic Park. They are D3 L6 in their last nine in the competition since then. Now they are stuck in a group with PSG and Bayern Munich. Both teams to score at bet365 is a price of 10/11 and the Hoops have Leigh Griffiths at 12/5 in the anytime goalscorer market as their shortest priced option. Celtic’s record at home to French clubs is W4 D0 L3; overall, it is W5 D2 L7.
Celtic and PSG have met before, their only previous clashes coming in the 1995/96 Cup Winners’ Cup with PSG running out easy winners 4-0 on aggregate. PSG are a massively ambitious club and were looking strong in last season’s champions league and after a 4-0 win over Barcelona at home in the round of sixteen, they looked to be cruising. But then they lost out in an epic comeback from Barcelona, who won the second leg at the Nou Camp 6-1, a remarkable recovery sparked by Neymar. Neymar is now with PSG of course and he is joint 12/5 favourite in the bet365 first goalscorer market with Edinson Cavani. PSG have also added Kylian Mbappe as well who is a quote of 5/6 in the anytime goalscorer market. PSG’s away form in Europe has seen them win five of their last nine road games, losing three. They are without a clean sheet in any of their last six European away games and over 3.5 goals at bet365 is a price of even money. Paris are unbeaten in their six games against Scottish clubs, winning three and drawing the rest. Away from home, their record is W1 D2.
