Celtic U19 form and stats

Let's have a look at how Celtic U19 performed last season in the UEFA Youth League: They landed a 22nd position in the league table after playing out 2 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 10 and conceded 15 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 0 and lost 2 with 4/9 goals scored/conceded. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on McManus, the Celtic U19 manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Celtic U19 play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Shakhtar Donetsk U19 (placed 2nd).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-6 defeat against Real Madrid U19.
