Bayern Munich won the away game in Glasgow, but they won't slow their tempo as Celtic come visiting for the return leg of the Champions League Round of 16 playoffs.
The hosts will look for goals to boost their European confidence even more ahead of the crucial encounters that will follow, and my Bayern Munich vs. Celtic predictions see Michael Olise getting in on the fun.
Here are my free betting picks for Tuesday, February 18.
Bayern Munich vs Celtic picks and predictions
My best bet:
Michael Olise anytime goalscorer (+123 at TonyBet)
My analysis
Since his $60 million move from Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich last summer, Olise has seen constant progress in his game.
The Frenchman has 11 goals and 12 assists in all competitions while wearing the German giants' shirt. He's constantly involved in Bayern's attacking danger zone and will want to profit against Celtic as well, adding numbers to his offensive presence.
An excellent +123 return for Olise to score via TonyBet is hard to omit. He hit the net in the first leg and is one of the natural contenders to stun Celtic once again on Tuesday evening.
TonyBet pays +154 for an assist from Olise, so you might consider this as well when you decide on your Champions League coupon, but I prefer to stick with the goal.
Bayern Munich vs Celtic same-game parlay (SGP)
Michael Olise anytime goalscorer
Celtic Under 0.5 goals
Jamal Musiala anytime goalscorer
Celtic have found it hard to penetrate the net away from home in two of their Champions League main-round games. They couldn't score against Dinamo Zagreb (0-0) and Atalanta (0-0).
Bayern are a different class and this will be visible on all parts of the pitch on Tuesday. Celtic should have a tough time containing the attacking force Bayern will use against them, so I see little hope for their offensive efforts.
Talking about offensive force, Jamal Musiala is one name Celtic's defense should be highly familiar with. Alongside Harry Kane and Michael Olise, Musiala screams "danger" for the Scottish powerhouse.
In his nine Champions League games since the start of the campaign, Musiala only scored twice, but he assisted four. He will look to improve numbers in order to emulate his league performances. In the Bundesliga, he scored 10 times in 19 matches, also assisting another four.
