Celtic winger Sebastian Tounekti has made the most ball carries in the Europa League this season that have ended in the opposition penalty area (32), while he ranks third among non-defenders for ball carry distance (1,043 metres).
Roma are looking to win three consecutive Europa League matches for the first time since September/October 2023.
None of Celtic’s past 19 Europa League matches at home have ended in a draw (W10 L9) since a 2-2 draw with Fenerbahçe in October 2015.
Roma have already beaten Rangers at Ibrox in the Europa League this season. That was their first encounter with a Scottish side since beating Dundee United 3-2 on aggregate in the 1984 European Cup semi-final in 1984.
Although this is Celtic’s 33rd major European meeting with Italian teams, it’s their first against Roma. They have won two of their past 16 against Italian opponents (D4 L10), both against Lazio in the 2019-20 Europa League.
