Celtic racked up 14 corners alone in that game against Falkirk, although it is worth noting that the hosts sat very deep at times to protect their lead. Besiktas should be more progressive, but Celtic have nevertheless been a target for corners all season. The Scottish side are averaging 8.1 corners per game across all competitions this season, rising to 8.7 at home.

They have been adept at getting to the byline to create corner opportunities, but Besiktas should also be able to contribute to the tally at Celtic Park. The Turkish side are averaging 5.7 corners per game, and there isn’t much to split these sides pre-match.

Colby Donovan has committed 17 fouls in his last nine appearances across all competitions, and he has been carded in a third of those matches. That includes three infringements against Celta Vigo in the previous round of the Europa League. The fullback likes to be aggressive in his duels, and he should see plenty of involvement defensively on Thursday night.

Leandro Trossard looks set to start on the left wing, which will put him directly up against Donovan. The Belgian international is averaging 2.13 fouls drawn per 90 across all competitions this season since completing his move from Arsenal, and he has seen plenty of the ball.

Camilo Duran finds himself in a rich vein of form, and he has scored in seven of his last nine starts across all competitions. The Colombian international has been impressive on the European stage, and he has landed this selection in all three starts. That includes three shots against Ferencvaros in round one, with one of those hitting the target.

Duran then bagged his first goal in the Europa League against Benfica, scoring Celtic’s only goal of the match in Portugal. He is averaging 3.4 shots per 90 across all competitions this season, which is comfortably the highest figure in the squad.

In addition to his contributions in the final third, Duran is averaging 1.8 fouls drawn per 90 across all competitions this season. He likes having the ball at his feet, and sometimes drops a bit deeper to try and link the play going forward. Duran can be a real handful for opposing defenders to contain, and Emmanuel Agbadou will try to keep him quiet on Thursday night.

The centre back is averaging 1.74 fouls per 90 across all competitions this season, and he has registered a foul in ten of his eleven starts this season. Based on that, this looks like a standout price.
