Real Madrid vs Celtic: Predictions, tips & betting odds

Real Madrid welcome Celtic to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on matchday six of the Champions League on Wednesday evening, with top spot in Group F still to be decided.

The defending champions know that a victory against the Scottish side would see them finish as group winners, while a draw could also be enough depending on RB Leipzig's result against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Celtic for their part have nothing but pride to play for as they are guaranteed to finish bottom of the group.

Real Madrid vs Celtic preview

Madrid had wanted to be able to take things easy in this game and rest players, yet their defeat on matchday five in Leipzig obliges them to field a strong team and go for the win.

Los Blancos want to top the group and they should be backed to get the win they need to assure they are in the draw for the last-16 as group winners.

In the first match between these sides Celtic came flying out of the blocks before Madrid asserted their control to win comfortably.

We should expect Ancelotti's men to show their class on Wednesday night and the hosts should have few problems against clearly inferior opposition.
