On average, Bologna score 1.65 goals per game, which is more than the 1.6 goals scored per game by Celtic this season, albeit the Scottish Premiership is a weaker league. At home, Bologna have scored an average of 1.7 goals per game, which is fewer than Celtic's 2.1 goals per match at Celtic Park, but given the highly competitive league, Bologna’s scoring record at home is arguably more impressive. Away from home, Bologna have scored an average of 1.6 goals per game, which is more than the 1.1 averaged by Celtic.

In defence, Bologna have conceded an average of 0.85 goals per game this season, which is more than the 0.75 goals per game let in by Celtic. However, given the strength of the Serie A, Bologna’s defence is arguably more effective at preventing goals than Celtic’s. At home, Bologna have conceded an average of 0.7 goals per game, which is more than the 0.5 goals scored by league opponents at Celtic Park. Away from home, Bologna have conceded an average of 1 goals per game, which is equal to the 1 goals conceded by Celtic in away matches.
