Facts on the home match against Leipzig | OneFootball

Scenario: Both teams go into the head-to-head clash on the back of four consecutive league wins. Dortmund are second with 13 points, Leipzig third with 12. 13 points after five matchdays is Borussia’s best haul in eight years. Across two seasons, BVB are unbeaten in 13 Bundesliga matches and have collected 35 points (11 wins, two draws) during this period – no other team have collected more points. Borussia’s last league defeat came on 15 March 2025 in an away match in Leipzig (2-0).

Home & away: Borussia were the second most successful home team last season with 11 wins, three draws and three defeats. They have won their last six matches at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK across two seasons, scoring at least three goals in all but one of those games. Leipzig won their last two away games (in Wolfsburg and Mainz, both 1-0 thanks to goals from Johan Bakayoko), having won only one of their previous 11 away games since the start of the year – also in Wolfsburg.

Record: The nine previous meetings between the two clubs at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK have produced 38 goals, an average of more than four per game. There has never been a 0-0 draw between the two teams, either in Dortmund or in Leipzig. Leipzig have only suffered more away defeats in Munich (seven) than in Dortmund (five).

Statistics: Borussia Dortmund have not conceded a goal in four Bundesliga matches and can now equal the club record. They have achieved five clean sheets in a row four times, most recently in 2017 under coach Peter Bosz. BVB have never managed five clean sheet victories in a row before. Since their 6-0 defeat in Munich on the first matchday of the Bundesliga season, Leipzig have conceded only one goal in four games. The Black & Yellows’ attack has needed an average of only five shots to score a goal, while the Saxons have scored on average every 12th attempt.

Last season: In front of 81,365 spectators at a sold-out SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, BVB dominated the game – but Leipzig scored the first goal. The visitors took the lead in the 27th minute with their first shot on goal through Sesko, but just three minutes later Beier equalised to make it 1-1. In the 65th minute, Guirassy turned the passionately contested match on its head when he scored to make it 2-1 for BVB.

Biggest home win: On 26 August 2018, BVB won 4–1, even though the visitors took the lead after just 31 seconds through Augustin. But goals from Mo Dahoud in the 21st minute, Marcel Sabitzer (then still with Leipzig) with an own goal (40th minute) and Axel Witsel (43rd minute) made it 3–1 at half-time. Marco Reus put the icing on the cake in injury time.Compiled by Boris Rupert
