My Prediction
Celtic by 2Ladies and gentlemen, we have an intriguing match-up here between Celtic and Young Boys. Let's crunch some numbers and look at their prospects, shall we?
Goalkeeper wise, Celtic's shining light is none other than Kasper Schmeichel. With a generous rating of 7.08 and an impressive 20 saves to his name this tournament season, he resembles a wall that very few can surpass. Young Boys, on the other hand, rely on the safe hands of Marvin Keller and David von Ballmoos, with ratings of 6.60 and 6.47 respectively. Standing tall, though not quite as high as Schmeichel.
Moving to our top players, Celtic offers a trio of sensations with Nicolas-Gerrit Kühn leading the pack with a 7.25 rating and two goals to his name, followed by Arne Engels and Reo Hatate. Now, while the Young Boys are not short on talent, their standout performers dwell in the mid 6 ratings with Filip Ugrinić, Kastriot Imeri and Łukasz Łakomy. The goal count ain't high, yet it's their accurate passes that turn on the style.
Tournament records? Not a pretty sight for Young Boys fans I'm afraid - their record stands droopy at 0 wins, 0 draws and 6 losses. Meanwhile, Celtic maintains a fighting spirit with 2 wins, 3 draws and a single loss.
Recent events continue to amplify the plot: with Young Boys struggling to find their footing, and Celtic showing resilience in their recent battles, although they had a thrashing from Borussia Dortmund that I'm sure they're eager to sweep under the rug.
Given all that we know, and what we don't (like why Young Boys don't have any older boys), it seems like a no-brainer. I wouldn't bet your goldfish on this, but common sense points to one direction.
