⭐ Dortmund v Celtic Best Bets
Backing Borussia Dortmund to pick up over 1.5 cards stands out at 1.73. Nuri Sahin’s side have been shown two or more cards in four of their five Bundesliga matches this season. That four-game sample includes home games with Heidenheim and Bochum, and latest guests Celtic will represent a step up in class.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have drawn two or more bookings from six of their nine opponents across all competitions this season.
🔎 Dortmund v Celtic Players to Watch
🟢 Greg Taylor
Celtic’s Greg Taylor looks like a strong contender to commit at least one foul at 1.4. The Celtic left-back committed two fouls during his side’s 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava. He has also got on the wrong side of the referee five times across his six Scottish Premiership outings this season.
Taylor could be up against Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi on Tuesday, who was fouled three times during his side’s 3-0 win over Club Brugge.
🟢 Arne Engels
Arne Engels has hit the ground running following his club-record move to Celtic and he holds plenty of appeal to earn his side a minimum of one foul at 1.8.
Engels was fouled three times on matchday one against Slovan and he has also drawn four free-kicks across his three Scottish top-flight appearances to date. He is expected to be closely watched by Emre Can , who committed two fouls against Bochum on Friday night.
🟢 Callum McGregor
Celtic captain Callum McGregor is enjoying a rich vein of form with four goals already this season. Each of those four strikes have come from outside the box, making a solitary McGregor shot on Tuesday night a great value option at 1.53.
McGregor has registered one or more efforts on goal in each of his six Scottish Premiership appearances this season, and he also tried his luck against Slovan Bratislava on matchday one.

💻 Dortmund v Celtic Form & Tactics
Borussia Dortmund have had a relatively strong start to the season. They have won three of their opening five Bundesliga games of the campaign, as well as beating Club Brugge 3-0 in the Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund came from two goals down to survive a scare against Bochum on Friday night. BVB generated 3.25 Xg and peppered their opponents goals with 23 shots, eight of which hit the target. They also racked up 11 corners, taking their overall flag-kick count in the Bundesliga this season to 36 across their opening five matches of the campaign, an average of 7.20 per-game.
Despite Dortmund’s eventual dominance on Friday night, Bochum managed to register five shots on target. On top of this, Dortmund were recently on the wrong end of a 5-1 thumping from Stuttgart. Thus, there is plenty of scope for free-scoring Celtic to land a blow on Dortmund’s defence.
Celtic have made a flawless start to the season. Brendan Rodgers’ side have won each of their nine matches across all competitions. What makes that streak all the more impressive is the fact they have fired in a combined total of 33 goals.
The Hoops put in another ruthless attacking display with a 6-0 hammering of St Johnstone on Saturday. Rodgers’ side won the shot count 19-5 and racked up an XG output of 3.57. Celtic have now scored five or more goals in each of their last three matches.
That three-game run included a stunning 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava at Celtic Park. The Bhoys blew the Slovakian champions away with yet another relentless display of attacking brilliance, amassing 16 shots, 11 of which were on-target.
