After earlier struggles, Celtic seem to have found their footing and will be eying a third straight win when they take on Jablonec in the return leg of their third qualifying round of the Europa League. Celtic go to this clash leading the tie 4-2 after surviving a few scares in the first leg, and they completed their recovery with a 6-0 thrashing of Dundee in the Premiership. The Glasgow side will go to this game a very confident lot and especially now that the goalkeeping problems seem sorted with the arrival of Joe Hart. On his second appearance for Celtic, the former England international kept a clean sheet, the first for Celtic in their last seven games. They’ve scored in each of their last six matches and all seems to be working well now. Kyogo Furuhashi scored a treble in the 6-0 win over Dundee, making it four goals in the last two matches and will be crucial for Celtic in the return leg.

Jablonec on the other hand, have no win in the last three matches, with two losses and a draw in that run and having conceded two or more goals in each of the three matches. While they have failed to score in just one of their last five matches, Jablonec have conceded nine goals in their last three matches – an average three goals per game. They have conceded in both halves in the last three matches and they have just two wins and clean sheets in their last five away games. They have lost three of the last five away matches and in two of the losses, they failed to score completely.
