Celtic Team News
In the last match of the Champions League, Celtic lost to Lazio at home by 1:2. Although they took the lead in the 12th minute with a goal by Kyogoo Furuhashi, assisted by Matt O’Riley, they were unable to preserve the lead. The guests equalized in the 29th minute and won in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
Before the match with Lazio, Celtic also lost to Feyenoord away from home with 2:0, and they are currently without points in the Champions League. In the Scottish Premiership, they occupy the first position in the table with 25 points won, seven more than the second-placed Rangers. In the last six competitive matches, they registered four wins and two losses.
Celtic will be able to welcome back Gustaf Lagerbielke after he missed the defeat against Lazio due to sending off against Feyenoord. The center-back was not in the squad for their win against Hearts on Sunday but should be in good spirits after scoring his first goal for the Swedish national team last week.
Maik Nawrocki is likely to be sidelined with a muscle problem but is not too far away from a return, while fellow defender Stephen Welsh is also out. In attack, Marco Tilio and Liel Abada will be sidelined, with the former still waiting to make his debut after joining from Melbourne City.

Atletico Madrid Team News
In the previous match of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid defeated Feyenoord at home 3:2. The guests took the lead on two occasions, but the home team managed to equalize on both occasions and in the end they won. Alvaro Morata scored twice for Atletico, while Antoine Griezmann scored one goal. Also, one assist was recorded by Nahuel Molina, while Mario Hermoso scored an own goal.
In the first round, Atletico Madrid played a draw with Lazio away 1:1 and they are currently tied for first place in the table with four points won. In LaLiga, they occupy the fourth position with 22 points won, two less than the third-placed Barcelona, but also one game less. In the last six competitive matches, they recorded all the victories.
Atletico has a few problems in defense, as Stefan Savić is sick, which prevented him from playing against Celta and makes him questionable for this game. With both Jose Maria Gimenez and Reinaldo injured, coach Diego Simeone will likely be relieved that Caglar Soyuncu is back available for the team after more than a month out.
Samuel Lino is likely to miss the game after being withdrawn in Galicia with a knee problem, joining Memphis Depay and Thomas Lemar on the injured list.

Celtic vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico Madrid is the favorite in this match due to their form, table position, and playing staff on paper. Although Celtic have the advantage of the home field, we believe that they can hardly win this game. Therefore, our betting suggestion is for the visitors to win, with a maximum of four goals scored in the match, as a more closed match is expected.
