Match Preview
Not enough opposition has been put up against the Celts in the national tournament thus far. With five rounds completed, Celtic leads the standings in an intermediate first place with fifteen points. Strangely, despite sending the ball into their opponent's goal up to 14 times, Brendan Rodgers' team did not give up a goal during the matches. Callum McGregor (3 goals), Nicholas-Gerrit Kuhn (2 goals and 2 assists), Reo Hatate (2 goals), and Daizen Maeda (1 goal and 2 assists) are the top scorers thus far this season. The team's offensive performance is mostly the result of these guys' actions. Rodgers and the team will benefit greatly from facing the clear "underdog" in the Champions League opening round in order to kick off the European season victorious.

It will be quite tough for the newcomer to the Champions League main stage to withstand the footballing giants of Europe and the "biting middle men," the Scottish Celtic. The Sky Blues also have the least expensive team among the big European cup competitors, costing only 24.15 million euros. On the Slovak club's squad, Nino Marcelli is the most expensive football player. One of the biggest aspirations for Slovak football in the near future is the 19-year-old talent. An estimate of 3.5 million euros is its transfer value. In order to advance to the tournament's main stage, the "kings of Bratislava" faced off against the Danish Midtjylland, the Macedonian Struga, the Slovenian Celje, and the Cypriot APOEL. As you can see, Slovan has completed all of the requirements and has earned a ticket to the European Cup in September.

Goaloo Prediction
Sincerely speaking, I would prefer not to predict the result of the match and declare a winner. To begin with, Celtic's European Cup campaigns have not shown stability in a while, and their successes are rarely unexpected. Since these are first-time visitors, it is absurd to expect an obvious outcome from them. It is far more appropriate, our editorial team decided, to concentrate on the move that awaits the next game. The Scottish squad will undoubtedly attempt to seize possession of the ball and assume total control of the initiative, supported by their supporters. Therefore, he will have the advantage in corners. Our bet is a total of more than 5.5 corners from Celtic.

Pick: Corners - Celtic Total Over(5.5)
