Celtic vs. Atletico Madrid Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Celtic vs. Atletico Madrid

Celtic is set to host Atletico Madrid, led by Diego Simeone, in the Champions League at Parkhead this Wednesday.

The home team finds themselves on the verge of elimination after suffering losses in their first two group matches, while Atletico is in impressive form, particularly in domestic competitions.

A further loss for Celtic in this match could almost certainly seal their fate with just three games played, urging Brendan Rodgers to inspire his team to deliver a strong performance against one of Europe’s most in-form sides.

Celtic vs. Atletico Madrid

The two initial group defeats have extended a dismal streak in this competition, where Celtic has managed only one victory in their last 23 group stage matches while enduring 17 losses.

Their home form was always going to be crucial, and it’s been over a decade since they last secured a home win in the Champions League, the last being against Ajax in October 2013. Since then, they have recorded two draws and suffered nine losses.

What to remember – Celtic vs. Atletico Madrid

Atletico’s inability to secure a victory in the Italian capital on matchday one has left them without a win in their last five Champions League group stage away matches. However, their recent performances indicate they have a strong chance of breaking that streak in this fixture.

Celtic, on the other hand, has suffered defeats in both of their initial games, and although they have been performing well in their domestic league, this upcoming match is likely to present a tough challenge. Their decade-long quest for a home win in this competition may continue.
