Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic FC Predictions: The Black and Yellows will welcome the high-flying Celtic in a blockbuster clash
Borussia Dortmund will host the in-form Celtic FC on matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League at the Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday. The Black and Yellows will be heading into this match following a 4-2 victory over Bochum in the Bundesliga. They also kick-started their Champions League campaign with a 3-0 win over Club Brugge.
Meanwhile, Nuri Sahin’s men must be wary of the threat that Celtic FC possess in the upcoming clash. The Celts have maintained an unbeaten start this season across all competitions. Brendan Rodgers’ men started their campaign in Europe with a dominating 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava and will be brimming with confidence to take the fight to the opposition in Dortmund. The Bhoys have displayed a splendid attacking brand of football with their 6-0 win over St. Johnstone in their preceding Scottish Premiership fixture.

Head-to-Head Report: Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic FC
This is only the fifth meeting between Dortmund and Celtic, with the Black and Yellows winning the last three matches against their Scottish counterparts. Overall, they have won four games while losing once against Celtic.
In eight meetings, the Bhoys have never won a Champions League match against German opponents. They have also lost the last four Champions League matches against German opponents.
Borussia Dortmund
Last season’s finalists, started their Champions League campaign with a convincing 3-0 win over Club Brugge away from home. They have also registered three wins out of their first five in the Bundesliga while only going down to Stuttgart. Only twice in their last 11 campaigns have Dortmund failed to make it to the knockout rounds and Nuri Sahin will look to keep up that streak as he took over reins from Edin Terzic.
The 36-year-old is the youngest manager in the Champions League this season and that only adds pressure for the Turkish tactician. In terms of team news, Sahin will hope that Marcel Sabitzer will be back for this match while Gio Reyna continues to remain on the sidelines.
Celtic FC
The Celts have won all six of their matches in the Scottish Premiership with their latest league game ending in a 6-0 thumping against St. Johnstone. They also started their Champions League campaign with a convincing win over Slovan Bratislava. Brendan Rodgers’ men are in good form but they are yet to win a fixture against Dortmund. Adding to that the Bhoys have never registered a win in Germany in this competition.
Rodgers has most of his players available for this match with still doubt over Cameron Carter-Vickers’ availability due to a foot issue. The likes of Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Germany U-20 winger Nicholas Kuhn will play important roles in the attack.

Celtic FC have a horrible away record in Germany and in general in this competition
