Celtic will face Borussia Monchengladbach at Celtic Park in the Champions League later this month.
Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has told The Scottish Sun that Celtic will win against Borussia Monchengladbach at Celtic Park later this month.
Celtic will take on Monchengladbach at Celtic Park in Champions League Group C on Wednesday, October 19.
Ballack has backed the Scottish Premiership giants to win the match and pick up all three points.
“Moenchengladbach did well against Barcelona but couldn’t get a point out of it,” Ballack told The Scottish Sun. “So they paid for a little naivety.
“Celtic are more experienced in the Champions League over recent years but with the quality of Moenchengladbach, I’m convinced they can win.
“It will be a challenge for them as Celtic have a great home record. That atmosphere can affect any team.
“If you have this under control and are prepared for an atmosphere like that and handle that, you can deliver.
“If you can’t, it can be a problem for Moenchengladbach and Celtic can overrun them with their fans at their back.”
Monchengladbach have a better team than Celtic, but the Bhoys will have home advantage.
As Premier League giants Manchester City found out last month, winning against the Hoops at Celtic Park is not easy.
Brendan Rodgers’s side may not be able to finish in the top two of Group C, but the Glasgow giants will be determined to end up third and drop to the Europa League.
Celtic will fancy their chances of winning against Monchengladbach, as they have home advantage and are also in good form at the moment.
The Hoops are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 19 points from seven matches, four points clear of second-placed Aberdeen with a game in hand.
