Celtic will be looking for a first Champions League win of the season as they bid to keep themselves firmly in the mix for knockout stage qualification.
Ange Postecoglou and his troops got their first points on the board last time out after a share of the spoils with Shakhtar Donetsk. The away side dominated for large spells and had their chances but they could not find that all important second goal to secure a big three points.
They go into this matchday three clash on the back of a domestic win over Motherwell after a shock pre-international break defeat in Paisley by St Mirren. This double-header with the Bundesliga side could prove vital in the quest to reach the last 16. Leipzig are yet to pick up any points in the section with Real Madrid and Shakhtar also battling out it on matchday three and four. Here is everything you need to know ahead of this major match for Celtic in Germany.
