Goal Statistics

Celtic's fans will be hoping for goals on Thursday evening, not least because Sporting Braga have conceded in each of their last 5 Europa League games. A PG of 1.9 for Brendan Rodgers's side suggests that run should continue.

Celtic's defensive record is to be admired, Brendan Rodgers's men having conceded 1 or less in 14 consecutive Europa League games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Sporting Braga makes sense in this context.
