RB Leipzig and Celtic will both be seeking their first win in the 2022-23 Champions League as the two sides clash at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig on Wednesday.
Marco Rose's side are bottom in Group F after 4-1 and 2-0 defeats at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid respectively, while the Hoops' solitary point came from a 1-1 draw against Shakhtar after falling to a 3-0 loss against the Blancos on matchday one.
Celtic are bidding to become the first Scottish side to win a Champions League or Europa League game in Germany since Rangers beat Vorwats Berlin 2-1 in 1961, but they are facing a Leipzig side that will be buoyed after a 4-0 Bundesliga win over Bochum on Saturday.
