RB Leipzig will be hoping to make another strong run in the Champions League when they meet Liverpool in the round of 16.

The German side are currently second in the Bundesliga and have won their last four games following a 2-1 win over Augsburg.

Liverpool are in poor form as of late and have lost three games in a row for the first time since 2014. They sit fourth in the Premier League.

This will be the first meeting between the sides, but Leipzig are familiar with English clubs lately, knocking Manchester United out in the group stage back in December.

Liverpool have four wins, eight draws and four losses in Germany.

The hosts will be without Benjamin Henrichs, Dominik Szoboszlai, Emil Forsberg and Konrad Laimer who remain injured.

Jurgen Klopp is missing Diogo Jota, Divock Origi, Fabinho, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and former Leipzig midfielder, Naby Keita.

Kickoff is at 3 p.m. EST. on Tuesday afternoon at the Puskas Arena in Budapest due to the travel restrictions in Germany which means Liverpool cannot enter the country. The game will be shown in Canada on DAZN.
