RB Leipzig welcome Young Boys to the Red Bull Arena in Germany for their final Champions League Group G fixture on Wednesday night.
The two teams lock horns for the first time since matchday one in September when Die Roten Bullen secured a 3-1 victory in Switzerland – the only previous meeting between the two clubs.
Despite boasting a surprise two-goal lead at half time at the Etihad Stadium, the Citizens fought back to turn the game on its head after the break, meaning that Marco Rose's men are guaranteed to finish second in Group G.
Leipzig have since won back-to-back games in the Bundesliga, with a 2-1 home victory over Heidenheim followed by last weekend's 3-2 away triumph against 10-man Borussia Dortmund, courtesy of an own goal from Ramy Bensebaini as well as strikes from Christoph Baumgartner and Yussuf Poulsen.
Rose's side remain fourth in the Bundesliga table but have moved four points clear of Dortmund in fifth place, while they also capitalised on Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen dropping points and have moved to within seven points of the latter at the summit.
