RB Leipzig remain a relatively young club in German football terms, founded in 2009, but they are now an established Bundesliga presence with resources to match. Based at the Red Bull Arena, they carried a squad valued at around £429.5m by Transfermarkt, with 35 players and an average age of 24.
Their 2025-26 campaign showed a clear split between home authority and away vulnerability. At the Red Bull Arena they averaged 2.4 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match, giving them the kind of attacking output that can quickly punish loose defending. Away from home, they still offered a threat at 1.5 goals per game, but conceded 1.6 on average.
Christoph Baumgartner led their scoring with 17 goals, followed by Yan Diomande on 12 and Rômulo Cardoso with nine. Antonio Nusa and Assan Ouédraogo also contributed, in a squad whose age profile suggests energy and resale value as much as experience.
Their closing league form was uneven rather than subdued: wins over St. Pauli, Union Berlin, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Monchengladbach sat alongside heavy 4-1 defeats to Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen. For Celtic supporters, Leipzig are best viewed as a strong, athletic side with serious home firepower, but not without defensive openings away from home.
