Celtic vs RB Leipzig Prediction
After a phenomenal start to the 2022-23 season, the Bhoys have only won two of their past six games in all competitions, while losing three and drawing one.
Inconsistent, but unbeaten in their past three games in all competitions, are the visitors. Leipzig, which has scored eight times in this timeframe, should score now.
Celtic could earn a narrow victory due to the importance of home field advantage in prior matchups between the two squads.
