Leipzig enjoy a perfect home record this season, extending a winning run at the Red Bull Arena.
Leipzig boast a flawless home record this season, riding a winning streak at the Red Bull Arena, yet their recent trip to Munich starkly highlighted their road woes.

You have to go back to February and a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund for the last time Leipzig dropped points in their own backyard. The last defeat came at the hands of Mainz at the end of January.
A run of eight straight Bundesliga wins at the Red Bull Arena is now a new club record for Die Roten Bullen, including three victories to kick off 2026/27 with a pretty flawless return of 14 goals scored and zero conceded. You can also throw in a 1-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League.
“Today showed what again we’re capable of,” David Raum had said after thrashing Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0 on Matchday 5. However, the club captain also pointed out fairly that “our season has been a rollercoaster so far”.

Home comforts fuel their success, but away trips spell trouble. After a 6‑0 cup win over fourth‑tier Eintracht Trier in August, Leipzig have dropped all four league games on the road.
In the league they fell 3‑1 at Werder Bremen, 2‑0 at Bayer Leverkusen and suffered a 6‑1 drubbing in Munich, plus a 4‑1 loss to Como in the Champions League.
The last comparable swing dates back to 1976‑77, when Frankfurt netted 15 goals in three home victories yet managed just two away, losing all three trips.

Managing director Marcel Schäfer recently admitted, “It’s easy for me to talk about two sides of us.”
Nevertheless, this season clearly shows Leipzig operating with a split personality.
At home across three Bundesliga matches Leipzig have recorded three wins, 14 goals (xG 11.51), 61 shots, 13 big chances (seven scored), zero conceded (xGA 3.16) and faced 42 opponent shots.
Away, the same three fixtures yielded three defeats, just two goals (xG 3.04), 41 attempts, a single big chance (converted), 11 goals allowed (xGA 7.35) and 59 shots faced, 29 of them against Bayern.
For my money, Leipzig must tighten up on the road. The contrast is stark: Leipzig generate and finish far more at home, while opponents enjoy many more chances on the road.

Effort isn’t lacking; the squad covers 355 km away versus 347 km at home and recovers the ball in 16.2 seconds compared with 17 seconds.
When Raum warned of “fluctuations” in early October, he wasn’t referring to those metrics.
Has Leipzig become too one‑dimensional? They and Leverkusen are the only sides yet to score from a set piece this campaign, with all 16 goals coming from open play, though they’ve conceded just once from a dead ball.
Raum tried to fix that himself, delivering ten set‑piece goals last season. This term he’s at the top of the league, tied with Michael Olise, with 20 chances created each.
