The Italian giants have played six Serie A games without conceding while Leipzig have the best defensive record in th🤡e Bundesliga, where they are unbeaten after five games and have only shipped two goals.
"The nꩵumbers mean a lot, it gives us solidity," Motta told reporters ahead of Wednesday's trip to Germ🀅any.
"We are two teams that don't sit back and wait for the opponent's mistakes. I expect an open game, a dynamic match against a competitive team who play good f♋ootball.
"To do well, we will have to play with quality and maintain a good defensive phase as we have done so 🔯far, facing different teams, as well as th🦩e offensive phase of course."
The only goal Motta's side have conceded this season came in their opening Champions League game, a 3-1 win over PSV, but the former midfielder haꦐs dismissed suggestions the Bianconeri have played differently in Europe.
"It's not a question of the🍸 cup or the leagu♛e. All games are different, when it comes to how we will face the opponent," Motta said.
"O𝄹ne thing is certain, we will not sit back, we will always try to compete for control of th𓂃e game.
"We have never played defensively, not even in the leag𝓡ue, and we will not do it this time."
Mottꦚa has no new injury worries and remained tight-lipped regarding his lineup, but he has already made his mind up over who will take to the pitch against Leipzig.
"No doubts about the formati꧒o💜n, I am very sure of the choices," Motta said.
"Of course, that's if nothing happens between now and the game.♕ I can't tell you, but the players already know the team."
