Goal Statistics

BSC Young Boys have been abject at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 3 consecutive Champions League games. This run could continue, with Celtic's PG an impressive 2.6.

A truly dreadful 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.
