Latest team news for Celtic vs RB Leipzig
Brendan Rodgers has more options on Saturday with the return of three players: Adam Idah from the bench, captain Callum McGregor starting after a groin injury, and Nicolas Kuhn returning to scoring form. Kuhn could partner with Kyogo Furuhashi, who has scored three goals in his last four Champions League games at Parkhead.
Kasper Schmeichel, the home goalkeeper, has only three other goalkeepers with more saves (12) this season and is looking forward to keeping a fifth consecutive clean sheet on his 38th birthday. However, he may struggle against Leipzig's attack, as Lois Openda has been involved in six Bundesliga goals and Benjamin Sesko has contributed five, plus three in the Champions League.
Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi has kept 510 clean sheets in the domestic league since the end of August, setting a new club record. The visitors will be without David Raum (ankle), Xaver Schlager (knee), Castello Lukeba (thigh), and Xavi Simons (ankle) due to injury, but Nicolas Seiwald has returned to the bench after recovering from a thigh injury.

Latest football match prediction: Celtic vs RB Leipzig
Celtic suffered a humiliating 1-7 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in their first away game but bounced back strongly, keeping a clean sheet in their recent draw against Atalanta BC. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel made seven crucial saves, helping Celtic secure a point in their 5-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava.
Celtic currently have four points in their Champions League campaign, equivalent to their total points for the entire 2023 season, placing them in the top 24 and qualifying for the playoffs if they maintain this position. On Saturday, they reached the Scottish League Cup final after a 6-0 victory over Aberdeen, with Daizen Maeda scoring a hat-trick.
Celtic have won nine of their last ten Scottish Premiership matches, drawing only one. Their defeat against Dortmund was their only loss in their last 24 games, while the Glasgow side have only won one of their last 16 Bundesliga encounters.
Leipzig have lost all three of their Champions League matches this season by one goal and relied heavily on Benjamin Sesko, who scored all three goals from 10 shots. They recently ended a 19-match unbeaten run in the Bundesliga with a 2-1 defeat to Dortmund, but have maintained good form with only five goals conceded in the domestic league and have reached the DFB-Pokal round of 16. However, it remains unclear whether they can maintain this form in the Champions League.
