LiontipsReal Madrid vs Celtic. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 UEFA Champions League (November 2, 2022).
Command Analysis
Real Madrid qualified for the playoffs following the results of the first four group games. A defeat to RB Leipzig (2:3) last week didn't change anything for Los Blancos, but we believe they will strive to deliver a better result at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. After five group games, the reigning champions of Europe have 10 points and 10 goals to their name.
Even without Benzema, the Spanish team is a formidable opponent for any team in the world, especially at home. In La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti's men top the standings with 32 points from 12 games. Last weekend, Real Madrid shared the spoils with Girona (1:1).
For Celtic this will be the last European game this season - the Scottish team is guaranteed to finish last in Group F. The team collected only two points in five Champions League games - they drew against Shakhtar Donetsk twice, with the same score of 1:1. Celtic conceded 10 goals in five matches, which, in fact, is far from the worst defensive record in the current edition of the tournament.
In the Scottish Premiership, on the other hand, Ange Postecoglou's men beat Rangers in the derby, which allowed them to take the lead in the tournament. Last weekend, Celtic crushed Livingston (3:0). Today, the team will have to cope without McGregor, Welsh, and Starfelt.

Tip and bets
It is hard to imagine any other outcome but a confident victory of the home team. Real Madrid left no chance to Celtic in Glasgow, and they will surely deliver a great performance at home. However, Real conceded goals in the last three games, so we believe, Celtic will get several scoring chances, too.
Our prediction — both to score
Real Madrid are no longer motivated - in the previous Champions League game they even lost to RB Leipzig. Celtic will be looking to avenge their home defeat and will go all out on offense. We will take a risk and bet on a draw in the match that ultimately changes nothing.
Second wager — draw
