RB Leipzig look back on their last three matches with six points to show from their efforts. Against B. M'gladbach, they were left empty-handed in a 3-0 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Bochum in a 4-0 win. They followed that up with a 3-1 win against Celtic in their most recent outing.
