Bayern is getting closer and closer to regaining the championship title in the Bundesliga. Last season, the Munich side managed to miss out on trophies in all the tournaments they participated in. Surprisingly, the failed year coincided with the signing of Harry Kane, but now the star Englishman has a good chance of winning his first career team title. Last weekend, they suffered a 0:0 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, allowing them to maintain an eight-point lead over their main rival.
But in the German Cup Munich have already completed their performance, losing in the round of 16 to Bayer - 0:1. Now the Germans can focus on their performance in the Champions League, where they failed to perform perfectly at the general stage. In eight rounds they have only five wins, and in the remaining three battles suffered defeats, failing to cope with Aston Villa - 0:1, Barcelona - 1:4, as well as Feyenoord - 0:3. Three misfires left Bayern in 12th place in the composite standings
Now the wards of Vincent Kompany have to play two extra meetings in the round of 32 of the Champions League. As opponents they faced Celtic, to cope with which they must, but at the end of the first game managed to get only a minimal advantage. Munich led to a confident victory, leading - 2:0, but in the end of the confrontation missed - 1:2, than gave the Scots a minimal chance for the final success.
Celtic
Celtic continues to collect trophies on the domestic arena. In the current season, the White-Green have already managed to win the League Cup, in the Scottish Cup they reached the quarterfinals, with Rangers already out, and therefore the path to victory in the tournament is open, while in the championship they will not allow the intrigue to revive. After the 26th round, they are leading in the standings of the national championship, ahead of the nearest pursuer on 13 points.
At the same time, Celtic are performing very well in the Champions League. In recent years, we have gotten used to the fact that the Scots are able to make it to the playoffs of the main club tournament of the continent, but this time they successfully played at the general stage. In eight rounds, the representatives of Glasgow allowed only two defeats, failing to cope with Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa - 1:7 and 2:4, respectively, and three more times they won and drew. With 12 points they finished in 21st place in the composite table.
Another thing is that already in the round of 32 the Scots fell under the formidable Bayern. To maintain real intrigue in the confrontation Celtic needed to succeed in the home game, but they failed to do so. Although Daisen Maeda scored in the end, making the score 1:2, but the return meeting will be held in Munich, where it will be much harder.

Expert Betting Tips
Bayern had a hard time entering the current season, but gradually gained a great momentum. This is especially true in home matches, as Vincent Kompany's men have won 12 of their last 13 battles in Munich, with the only exception being in the cup game against Bayer, when Manuel Neuer was sent off in the 17th minute. In the upcoming meeting, the Germans are also seen as unqualified favorites. Even in Glasgow they managed to beat Celtic 2:1, and on their home field they should smash the Scots.
