Bayern Munich vs Celtic Bet Builder Tips, Preview

Bayern put in a surprisingly meek 0-0 draw with Leverkusen on Saturday, with the Bavarian giants had just 2 shots all game. Prior to this, Joshua Kimmich had been a regular goal threat, taking at least one shot in 4 straight games leading into that Leverkusen match.

The Germany international had two shots in the first leg of this tie, and has had a shot in 10 of his last 12 Bayern games in all competitions. He averages 1.15 shots per 90 across all competitions, and 1.33 shots per 90 in the Champions League.

When looking solely at the Champions League, Kimmich has now had a shot in 8 of Bayern’s 9 Champions League clashes, with 4 of those 8 games seeing Kimmich have at least one shot.

This could be another tight affair, with Bayern’s attack looking far from free-flowing and Celtic posing a real threat on the counter. Kimmich’s most shot-heavy games in this year’s Champions League have either come in Bayern’s losses (1-0 to Aston Villa and 3-0 to Feyenoord), or in narrow wins, like their 1-0 win over Benfica and the 2-1 win in the first leg of this game.

Harry Kane’s extremely low price makes him almost unbackable here, but Jamal Musiala offers a very appealing price to hit the target at least once on Tuesday night.

He has now had at least one shot on target in 5 of his last 6 Champions League starts for Bayern, and has been able to test the keeper in 10 of his last 14 appearances in the Champions League and Bundesliga.

Vincent Kompany’s side are expected to be on the front foot once again, with Celtic even more likely to sit deep and invite pressure in an attempt to score from a counter-attack than they were in the first leg at Celtic Park.

Only Kane has had more shots on target per 90 in all competitions than Bayern’s wunderkind Musiala, with the Germany international clocking 1.64 to Kane’s 1.75. In the Champions League, Musiala is maintaining a similar rate to his all competitions average, racking up 1.36 shots on target per 90.

We’re also backing Musiala to be fouled twice or more in this one, which may be the best value offered by any of the three selections in this bet builder.

Musiala has been fouled twice or more in 10 of his last 11 starts in all competitions, including twice in the first leg, a return which is doubly impressive given that the entire Celtic team were only penalised for 4 fouls all game. In the weekend’s 0-0 draw with Leverkusen, Musiala won a ridiculous 7 fouls.

With referee Benoit Bastien giving over 3 fouls more per game than Jesus Gil, who took charge of the first leg, it would not be a surprise to see Musiala fouled more than twice here, making a ladder bet one well worth considering.

The Germany international has won 2.12 fouls per 90 in the Champions League, not far off his all competitions average of 2.93 per 90.
