—Celtic – Bodø / Glimt 1-3–

108: Cameron Carter-Vickers (Celtic)
107: Carl Starfelt (Celtic)
89: Callum McGregor (Celtic)
87: Jacob Rasmussen (Speed)
81: Jannik Vestergaard (Leicester)

The concept of “passing to avoid trouble” suffered in the first legs of the knockout round of the play-offs, as seven of the top ten passers (including the top four) ended up on the losing side. Celtic, who lost 3-1 at home to Bodø/Glimt, fielded three of those players, with another three coming from Vitesse, who lost 2-1 at Rapid Wien. The Leicester trio fared much better thanks to their ball circulation as the ‘Foxes’ recorded the biggest win of the night 4-1 at home against Randers.

—Rapid de Viena – Speed 2-1–

4: Josip Juranovic (Celtic)
4: Jota (Celtic)
4: Maximilian Wittek (Vitesse)
3: Marko Vesovic (Qarabağ)
3: Andrija Zivkovic (PAOK)

If Thursday’s games didn’t always reward accurate passing, those games were even less profitable for players who made accurate crosses. The only five players who managed to send more than two successful balls over the course of the afternoon ended up losing. Josip Juranović and Jota peppered the Bodø/Glimt area with numerous crosses, but like Maximilian Wittek, Marko Vešović and Andrija Živković, they were little rewarded.

—Sparta Prague – Partizán 0-1–

13: Caglar Soyuncu (Leicester)
10: Philipp Max (PSV Eindhoven)
10: Josip Juranovic (Celtic)
10: Dávid Hancko (Sparta de Prague)

In terms of action, Leicester defender Çağlar Söyüncü and Celtic right-back Josip Juranović scored big this week. Çağlar also ranked in the top ten for his passing accuracy and clearances, while Juranović also finished first in the crossing record. Leicester’s 4-1 victory against Randers was doubly satisfying as it ended a run of five games without a win in the domestic championship, including a surprise FA Cup exit to neighbors Nottingham Forest. .

—PSV – Maccabi Tel-Aviv 1-0–

11: Marius Høibråten (Bodø / Glimt)
9: Henrik Dalsgaard (Midtjylland)
9: Idan Nachmias (Maccabi Tel Aviv)
8: Caglar Soyuncu (Leicester)
8: Emanuel Aiwu (Vienna Rapid)

Bodø/Glimt’s eye-catching victory against Celtic came largely thanks to the defensive prowess of players like Marius Høibråten, who was able to avoid danger when his worst team was passing him by. Henrik Dalsgaard’s clearances helped Midtjylland to a narrow win against PAOK, while Maccabi Tel-Aviv’s 1-0 loss at PSV Eindhoven was by no means a bad result, as that his rival faces a tough trip to Bloomfield ahead of the return.

—Leicester – Randers 4-1–

12: Patrik Carlgren (Randers)
5: Luka Gugeshashvili (Karabakh)
5: Daniel Peretz (Maccabi Tel-Aviv)
5: Nikita Haikin (Bodø / Glimt)
4: Paul Gartler (Rapid de Viena)

Randers lost 4-1 at Leicester, but they seem to have loved the experience: “Their fans, our fans… the whole atmosphere was amazing. I really enjoyed playing here, except for the last 30 minutes.” No Randers player left as good an impression as their Swedish goalkeeper Patrik Carlgren, who saved the team up to twelve times, more or less keeping them in the game until the last minutes of the game.
