Torreense's form in the Segunda Liga has been closer to even, 7 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses from 20 matches, scoring 26 and conceding 23. They beat Amarante in their most recent domestic outing, but results have swung both ways against sides at a similar level.

Celtic's goals have flowed at home in Scotland, but their away form in Europe has dipped recently.

Comparative Team Statistics: Torreense vs Celtic

Where they sit in this season's Europa League

The table covering this season's Europa League phase shows Torreense in 19th place with 3 points from two matches, having won one and lost one. Celtic sit in 33rd with 0 points from their two games so far, having lost both.

That gap comes from just two matches, so it's an early snapshot rather than a settled picture. Still, it shows Celtic without a continental win yet this season while Torreense already have points on the board.

Team news

The only player note we have is for Torreense's Nuha Jatta, who picked up a yellow and a red card in a single recent match. That's a disciplinary flag worth watching, though it doesn't tell us anything about who else might be missing for this one.

How this one could play out

Celtic's domestic firepower suggests they can score against most opposition, but their recent European results, losses to Celta Vigo, Benfica and Ferencvaros, show they've struggled to carry that form onto the continental stage so far this season.

Torreense, by contrast, have already taken points in this league phase and arrive with a reasonable recent home run, including that win over Amarante. Whether that's enough against a side with Celtic's overall quality is the open part here.
