Celtic will be determined to make the most of a big opportunity in the Champions League when they face RB Leipzig this evening.

The Bhoys were put to the sword by Real Madrid in their campaign opener before drawing with Shakhtar Donetsk last time out.

They may only have one point from their first two matches, but RB Leipzig are yet to claim anything from their opening gambits and Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou will be desperate for his side to make the most of tonight.

Avoiding defeat could see the Scottish champions lifted to within touching distance of Shakhtar ahead of an all-important reverse fixture, while a victory would place them in a superb position in Group F.

RB Leipzig are struggling this term. They sit 11th in the Bundesliga and were hammered 4-1 by Shakhtar in their Champions League opener.

Our prediction: RB Leipzig v Celtic

Celtic have a major opportunity to position themselves as the ‘best of the rest’ in Group F behind Real Madrid. However, an away trip to face Leipzig is nearly always a difficult task on the continent. With so much on the line for each side, expect a fiery encounter but one where the quality of the hosts should just about shine through.

Our prediction: RB Leipzig 2-1 Celtic (15/2 at bet365)
