Celtic face the daunting task of a trip to the Allianz Arena as they try to overturn a one-goal deficit against German giants Bayern Munich on Tuesday night (2000 GMT).
Celtic have made big strides in Europe this year, but their journey could be coming to an end, unless they pull off one of the shocks of the century at the Allianz Arena.
Former Premier League stars Harry Kane and Michael Olise were on target for Bayern Munich as they edged the first leg of this Champions League play-off 2-1 at Celtic Park.
That is a respectable scoreline for the Scottish champions as Bayern's record against British clubs in the Champions League is outstanding, with several of the Premier League's big boys receiving hammerings from the Bavarians over the years.
Now they have the hardest part... trying to make the impossible possible. We've taken a deeper look at the fixture and picked out the best bets which can help you bash the bookie.
Bayern Munich vs Celtic bet builder
Michael Olise to score in 90 mins
Bayern Munich to win
Yes... this one has short odds, but see it as the cornerstone of your bet builder.
In all competitions this year, Bayern have lost just once at home, which was a 1-0 defeat to defending Budesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal.
Celtic have put on a great showing in this year's Champions League and have shown signs of improvement but we think it'll be a step too far for Brendan Rodgers' men.
Michael Olise to score in 90 mins
The former Crystal Palace man was one of the goalscorers in the narrow win at Celtic Park and we're backing the 23-year-old to do the business once again here.
He has 11 goals in all competitions, including five goals in the Champions League and has linked well with Harry Kane during his time in Germany.
Olise to score in 90 mins has odds of 23/20 at the time of writing making it a good value selection for your bet builder.
Both teams to score- Yes
One thing that has been different about Bayern this year has been their porous defence.
They have conceded in three of their last four games across all competitions including three in a Bundesliga match against bottom side Holstein Kiel.
Celtic have scored in seven of their nine Champions League matches and we think that will be the case here, both teams to score is a good value addition to your bet builder.
Over 2.5 goals
Across the Bundesliga and the Champions League, Bayern have scored 87 goals in 31 matches, an average of 2.8 goals per game.
They have also scored three or more goals in each of their last seven at home, so over 2.5 goals looks to be a worthwhile bet.
