Celtic vs Club Brugge prediction and betting tips on November 27, 2024
Game Prediction
In the 5th round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on November 27, 2024, Celtic will face Club Brugge. The home team is finally showing a good level in the tournament and is determined to beat the Belgian side.
Our prediction for Celtic vs Club Brugge
The "Hoops" have only once in recent years finished behind Rangers. But after that singular success, Steven Gerrard left, and his successors have been no match for their rivals. The past season brought more titles, with Celtic reclaiming the Scottish Premiership. Similarly, the "Blue-Black" triumphed in Belgium, with a late-season coaching change bringing success under Nicky Hayen.
Currently, Brugge trails league leaders Gent significantly. Their realistic goal seems to be fighting for second place, although the points reset before the playoff stage leaves room for a late surge. Meanwhile, they've shown promise in the Champions League, balancing wins against Sturm Graz and Aston Villa with losses to Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.
Celtic has been dominant domestically, dropping very few points. It's already clear that the Premiership title will remain in Brendan Rodgers' hands. Furthermore, in the Champions League, despite a heavy 1-7 defeat in Dortmund, they secured home wins over Slovan Bratislava and RB Leipzig and held Atalanta to a goalless draw in Bergamo.
