Celtic have started the Scottish Premiership season strongly by winning their first five matches without conceding a goal.
They notably defeated their rivals Rangers 3-0 at home and are considered strong favorites in their upcoming Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava.
Slovan Bratislava, the Slovakian champions, had to go through four qualifying rounds to make their debut in the Champions League and will aim for a memorable performance at Celtic Park.
Team news
Celtic's right-back Alistair Johnston overcame an injury concern to play against Hearts on Saturday, and the team does not have any new injuries to worry about.
Slovan's head coach Vladimir Weiss missed the last two games due to illness and might not travel to Glasgow. Additionally, wing-back Lukas Pauschek is currently sidelined due to an injury.
The stats
In three of Celtic's last six Champions League losses, they were beaten by a 2-0 scoreline.
Celtic has won all five of their Scottish Premiership matches without conceding a goal and are on an impressive run of 11 consecutive victories in the league.
Slovan Bratislava drew their last three away games during the Champions League qualifying rounds.
Both teams scored in eight of Slovan's last 11 Champions League matches.
Slovan's midfielder Tigran Barseghyan has already scored six goals in five league appearances this season.
Prediction
Celtic's defense has been solid in their first five league matches, and they are expected to secure a vital win in the Champions League match on Wednesday night.
Last season, Celtic performed well at home in Europe with victories over Feyenoord and a draw with Atletico Madrid, despite a late loss to Lazio.
While they struggled in an away match against Atletico Madrid, they are anticipated to have an easier encounter against Slovan, who began their campaign in the early qualifying rounds.
Celtic will be confident in securing a win, especially with their impressive home record in the league. However, keeping a clean sheet might be a challenge this time.
Considering the odds, Slovan's midfielder Tigran Barseghyan is a tempting choice to score during the match.
Barseghyan, an experienced winger with nine international goals for Armenia, has been in excellent form this season, scoring six goals in five league appearances.
As Slovan's main penalty-taker, Barseghyan also scored twice in the Champions League qualifying rounds and poses a significant threat to Celtic's strong defensive record.
