Celtic and RB Leipzig: Matchup Statistics

The upcoming Tuesday fixture marks the fifth encounter between Celtic and RB Leipzig. In their previous four meetings, Celtic has secured one victory, while the German team has emerged triumphant on three occasions. Celtic’s most recent success against a German opponent occurred in 2018, when they achieved a 2-1 home win against Leipzig during the Europa League group stage. RB Leipzig has not recorded a win in their last five matches in Uefa competitions, a sequence that includes four defeats and one draw. The Bundesliga club’s most recent away victory against a non-domestic opponent was against Young Boys in Switzerland, during the opening match of last season’s Champions League group stage. Daizen Maeda, Celtic’s leading scorer, aims to be the first player from the club to net three goals in a Champions League group or league phase since Moussa Dembele accomplished this in 2016. RB Leipzig seeks to become the first visiting team to secure a victory at Celtic Park in any competition since Hearts did so in December 2023. Sandi Toksvig will be accompanied by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies. Opportunities are available to sing along to tracks by Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, and other artists. Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are returning for the celebratory events at Longleat Safari Park.
