Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Celtic will be looking to move closer to booking their spot in the Champions League knockout stages when they take on Young Boys in round 7. The Hoops are eyeing their third win of the process and they must be high on spirits following the Scottish Cup win over Kilmarnock. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both James Forrest and Odin Thiago Holm remain in the recovery room.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with zero points on their account. As the Swiss outfit have little to play for in Wednesday’s clash, we are tempted to bet on Brendan Rodgers’ men, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The likes of Abdu Conte, Facinet Conte, Christian Fassnacht, Saidy Janko, and Mats Seiler should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
