Celtic v BSC Young Boys Betting Tips [22 January 2025]

Celtic will have the chance to boost their quest for a place in the Champions League knockouts when they host Young Boys. As the weakest side in the competition, Young Boys are bottom of the league phase standings, while Celtic are 21st. We have the prediction for this match below.

Celtic, on nine points, are just four below the top eight. Having gone undefeated in the last four matches in Europe, they can genuinely be confident of making it at least to the playoffs. The Bhoys, however, have just a win in those four matches.

Ahead of this game, they beat Kilmarnock 2-1 in the Scottish Cup for their fifth unbeaten game.

Young Boys are having a torrid season both in Europe and at home. They started this campaign as champions of Switzerland but are currently ninth, eight points behind the league leaders.

It is even worse for Young Boys in Europe; they occupy the bottom spot in the Champions League. The Swiss side is one of three teams yet to pick up a point in the opening six rounds of the Champions League.

In their last three Champions League matches, they were bright starters, scoring early but ended up losers. The most recent of those was a 5-1 defeat to Stuttgart in Germany, having led in the game.

Celtic have a real chance to add to their tally in the league phase of this competition. With Aston Villa waiting in the final round of matches, they’ll want to assert themselves here and claim three points. The one area the Scots will have to look out for is their defence, having conceded five times in the last three matches.

Young Boys have nothing to play for, but have scored in each of their last three Champions League matches. They look capable of stealing a goal against the Scots here. Our prediction for Celtic v Young Boys is for both teams to score.
