Goal Statistics

Celtic's forwards have been superb of late, finding the net twice or more in 4 consecutive Champions League outings. A PG of 2.7 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday night.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for BSC Young Boys fans, as should a 7 Champions League matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
