They have never lost two matches in a row in this competition and they will look to inspirational Swedish attacker Emil Forsberg when they face Liverpool.
Marcel Sabitzer, the Leipzig captain, is confident that they can overcome Liverpool and qualify for the quarter-finals.
"We will pick up where we left off: applying a lot of pressure and making good attacking moves," Sabitzer said.
"We still have a chance to qualify. We want to cut out the mistakes in the second leg and make better use of our chances.
"Scoring a goal would have made it easier for ourselves; it's hard like this, but we have the belief that we can advance because we know the quality that we possess."

The English champions will once again look to Mane and Salah when they square off with a dangerous Leipzig side.
Liverpool will host Leipzig for the first time in a competitive match.
This will also be the second competitive meeting between the two clubs.
