The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Celtic take on an impressive RB Leipzig side in an important clash at Celtic Park on Tuesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Celtic vs RB Leipzig Preview
Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings and have been in excellent form on the domestic front this season. The hosts thrashed Aberdeen by a comprehensive 6-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are in second place in the Bundesliga table and have stepped up to the plate this season. The away side suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this match.
