Celtic vs Young Boys Predictions


Celtic can secure a place in the playoff phase with a likely high-scoring victory at Parkhead.

I'm backing a home win with at least two goals scored, while I also expect both teams to get on the scoresheet.

Stats


  • Celtic won 3 of their last 4 home matches (Champions League)
  • Celtic scored 2+ goals in 17 of their last 18 home matches
  • Celtic have seen BTTS & over 2.5 in 5 of  their last 6 home matches (UCL)
  • Young Boys lost their last 6 matches (UCL)
  • Young Boys have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches (UCL)
  • Young Boys conceded 2+ goals in 6 of their last 7 away matches (UCL)

Head to Head


Celtic and Young Boys will meet for the first time on Wednesday.

Celtic Form


Celtic come into Wednesday's Champions League contest unbeaten in five matches after a hard-fought Scottish Cup victory against Kilmarnock. Daizen Maeda's second-half goal secured a place in the round of sixteen for the Bhoys. 

Brendan Rodgers's in-form side are unbeaten in 24 of 25 games played across all competitions since a 7-1 thrashing at Dortmund in October. 

Ahead of their penultimate UCL, league phase fixture, Celtic remain inside the qualification places, with nine points picked up from six games played. 

Celtic Team News


Celtic boss Rodgers has no new injury issues ahead of Wednesday's crucial Champions League contest. Scottish winger James Forrest is the only injury absentee for the home side. 

Young Boys Form


Young Boys arrive in Scotland after a goalless draw in their return to Super League action against Winterthur on Saturday. YB have not won a competitive fixture since a 2-1 win against Servette in mid-December. 

Joël Magnin's have endured a dismal campaign, both domestically and in European competition. The Swiss champions sit ninth in the Super League and bottom of the Champions League.

A poor away record in this competition has seen YB lose six while winning only one of ten previous road games.

Young Boys Team News


Head coach Magnin has a few expected absentees this week. Injured trio Saidy Janko, Miguel Chaiwa and Christian Fassnacht are all likely to remain sidelined. 

Former Rangers forward Cedric Itten is set to spearhead the YB attack on his return to Glasgow. 

Verdict

Celtic should have too much attacking quality for a Young Boys side that rarely travels well.

A home win with at least two goals is my first tip, with BTTS also likely to land at Parkhead.
