Celtic vs RB Leipzig Prediction, Odds and Lineups: Two bets for tonight's Champions League match

Celtic go hunting for their second Champions League win of the campaign tonight when they host winless RB Leipzig, live on TNT Sports 2 at 8pm.

Read on for our best bets for the game, which includes a 6/1 Bet Builder.

RB Leipzig head to Scotland still seeking their first Champions League points of the campaign following three straight defeats. In fairness, Marco Rose's side were handed a daunting start against Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Liverpool, while domestically it's been a different story. The club are second only to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga with six wins - and a league low five goals conceded - from nine games, with their only defeat coming away to Dortmund last weekend.

Benjamin Sesko has emerged as one of their stand-out players this season and I like the look of the Slovenian striker at 39/20 with BetMGM to have Over 1.5 Shots On Target away to Celtic on Tuesday night.

Sesko, who was linked with a summer move to the Premier League, has registered some impressive figures so far this season, having scored seven goals and claimed three assists from 13 matches in all competitions.

In the Champions League, he has taken 10 shots, with six hitting the target, resulting in three goals. He has recorded at least one shot on target in five of his last six Bundesliga matches and has had 2+ SOT in three of his last five appearances.

Given that Celtic has already faced an astonishing 47 shots in their three Champions League games, with 21 on target, and with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel making several crucial saves to deny Atalanta, backing the 6'4" Sesko in the shots on target market looks a shrewd selection.

For my Bet Builder, I've combined a shot on target from Celtic's Daizen Maeda, a goal or assist from visiting Lois Openda, and over 3.5 cards to give us a 6/1 treble with BetMGM.

Daizen Maeda has nine goals and three assists for Celtic this season, scoring twice so far in the Champions League. He heads into Tuesday's match on the back of a superb hat-trick in Saturday's 6-0 thrashing of domestic rivals Aberdeen, and appeals at 19/20 to have a shot on target at home to Leipzig.

We've already spoken about the form of the Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, now we're looking for his teammate Lois Openda to produce the goods for the Bet Builder. The Belgian already has 11 goal involvements for club and country this season and has three goals and three assists in his last five league games.

Cards could well be on the menu on Tuesday night given that the referee, Benoît Bastien, has averaged 5.13 yellow cards across his eight games this season, and has whipped out three reds. Celtic's last three games have contained 15 yellows and a red card, while RB Leipzig's last three games have produced 13 cards, seven of which came in Saturday's defeat at Dortmund.
