Bundesliga: Leipzig claim 100th home win, just edging Dortmund to the mark | OneFootball

They managed to score the winning goal against FC Augsburg only in the 92nd minute after trailing. However, this allowed Leipzig to secure their 100th home victory in the Bundesliga. They needed 165 attempts to achieve this, slightly fewer than the number Borussia Dortmund required to reach this milestone in the distant past. Here are the details.

Once again, the kicker delved deep into the Bundesliga statistics, this time before the start of the 25th matchday. A milestone was on the horizon: Rasenballsport Leipzig had a total of 99 home wins in the top tier of football and had the opportunity to reach triple digits in this category.

Since their promotion in 2016, the Saxons have mostly presented themselves as one of the top teams in the league. Thus, this 165th home game was also the one that brought them their 100th home victory. Only a few teams in Bundesliga history have been faster. Borussia Dortmund is not among them.

FC Bayern hard to beat at Grünwalder Straße

As a founding member, BVB needed a few more home games starting in 1963 to reach 100 victories in their own stadium, which was then still the Rote Erde. The kicker counts 172 home games after which one hundred victories were complete. The remaining home matches ended in 41 draws and 31 defeats.

Rasenballsport Leipzig has now also surpassed VfB Stuttgart. For the Swabians, it took 169 home games before reaching the 100th victory in their own stadium. In Bundesliga history, five clubs were faster than the club from the city of Leipzig, which has 630,000 inhabitants.

Eintracht Frankfurt needed one game less than Leipzig, with 164 home games, to achieve 100 home victories. Even faster was the other Borussia from Mönchengladbach, which required 162 attempts. Hertha BSC was also a strong home team at the beginning of its Bundesliga time, reaching 100 victories after only 158 games in their own stadium. The runner-up in this category remains the recent opponent of BVB, 1. FC Köln, which celebrated their hundredth victory after just 152 home games.

Leading in this matter is FC Bayern Munich, and by a remarkably large margin. The FCB needed only 132 home games in the 1960s and 1970s to reach 100. Naturally, the entire record from these 132 games is impressive: only 18 draws and just 14 defeats did Bayern suffer in these home games at that time.
