Prior to our free Celtic vs Paris Saint-Germain betting tips, Brendan Rodgers had to guide his team through three rounds of Champions League pre-qualifiers. The Celts came through ties against Linfield, Rosenborg and Astana to make it to Group B. Last season, the Hoops had a torrid time in the CL group stages, drawing three and losing three of their six fixtures.

PSG will remember their last CL match before our Celtic vs Paris Saint-Germain predictions for all the wrong reasons. They were trounced 6-1 in a controversial second leg game against Barcelona, a result that overturned the 4-0 first leg lead PSG had secured. That was only the Parisians’ second away defeat in seven on their travels in Europe.

These clubs have only met twice before in their history. That was over twenty years ago in 1995 in the now defunct European Cup Winners Cup. PSG won 4-0 over two legs, with their 3-0 win Glasgow doing the damage.

Celtic vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction and Betting

More than 2.5 goals on Tuesday is the first prediction for our free UEFA Champions League Group B football tips for what should be an open game in Group B. In six of Paris SG’s seven games this season, there have been over 2.5 goals. In six of the Hoops matches to date this season, there have also been over 2.5 goals. On Tuesday, we see two sets of players square-up who more often than not, provide wonderful entertainment for supporters. Even though the visitors will be without the injured Angel Di Maria, who damaged a hamstring, the supply lines to their star-studded forward line should still be open with the likes of Verratti, Pastore and Rabiot pulling the strings. Rodgers prefers his team to play open, expansive football and while that probably isn’t wise against a team as good as PSG, it should go a long way in helping our prediction come in. Betway have the best value available for his game across a range of markets.

Backing PSG to win and both teams to score is the second recommendation from this week’s Celtic vs Paris Saint-Germain picks. The Celts have only failed to get on the score sheet three times in their last eleven at home. Buoyed by the return from injury of last year’s leading marksman Moussa Dembélé and Scottish international forward Leigh Griffiths, Celtic’s forward options suddenly look much healthier. PSG have only failed to score once in fourteen Champions League matches and helped by the summer arrival of striking pair Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, their options in attacking look frightening and devastating in equal measure. At the other end, PSG have scored in all but one of their thirteen previous UCL matches. In six games overall in 2017/18, Unai Emery’s squad have racked up twenty one goals.
