Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava Predictions

• Celtic are unbeaten in 17 home games, having won 16 of those fixtures
• Celtic have kept five straight clean sheets in the Scottish Premiership
• Slovan Bratislava have failed to win in three Champions League away games

Bhoys may be too defensively sound

This looks like a nice starting point in the Champions League for Celtic, who have been in blistering form in the Scottish Premiership, and they can celebrate with an opening victory over Slovan Bratislava.

The Bhoys are a perfect five from five in their domestic division, having scored 14 goals without reply, and another win to nil could be on the cards against their Slovakian opponents.

Celtic didn’t have much joy in the Champions League last season but they did win at home to Feyenoord and draw with Atletico Madrid, form which puts them streets ahead of Slovan Bratislava.

Slovakian visitors face hike in class

The visitors came through four qualifying rounds to book their place in the new Champions League format but they failed to win in the away legs of their final three ties.

Slovan Bratislava were held to draws at Celje, APOEL and Midtjylland and this trip to Celtic Park looks considerably tougher, given the Bhoys are unbeaten in 17 home games with 16 of those matches resulting in victory.

Celtic are fancied to showcase their defensive talents and they can prevail 2-0, which was the scoreline in their latest Scottish Premiership match at home to Hearts.
