Celtic vs Young Boys Predictions

• Celtic have won five straight home games, with four of those coming to nil
• Young Boys entered the round rock-bottom of the Champions League standings
• The Swiss side have lost all six of their games, scoring just three goals but conceding a mammoth 22

Celtic can secure crucial win

Saturday saw Celtic face some resistance from Kilmarnock before eventually landing a 2-1 victory in the Scottish Cup fourth round but they should have an easier time of things against the Champions League basement boys on Wednesday. 

Young Boys enter the round bottom of the 36-team standings, having scored just three goals and shipping a competition-high 22 while losing all six of their matches. 

Celtic, meanwhile, have enjoyed a positive campaign in the new-look Champions League and are in with a decent shout of making the knockout stages for the first time since 2013. 

Young Boys bound for seventh straight defeat

The Bhoys entered the round in 21st and a win over Young Boys would all but secure a place in the play-off round. 

With that in mind, Brendan Rodgers will take no chances on Wednesday and the hosts should see off their struggling visitors with ease in Glasgow. 

Celtic have won their last five home matches and, with four of those coming to nil, it could pay to back the Bhoys to shut out their goal-shy visitors, with a 2-0 win for Rodgers’ side the most appealing correct-score bet.
