RB Leipzig have set a new Bundesliga record after completing the most productive home start in the competition’s history.
Their 4-0 victory over Elversberg on matchday seven was their fourth home win of the season. Across those four matches, RB Leipzig have scored 18 goals without conceding.
That total is the best recorded by any Bundesliga side in its opening four home games of a campaign. Even Bayern Munich have never achieved a stronger start on home soil.
RB Leipzig’s home form has been in sharp contrast to their results away from home. They have lost all three of their matches on the road, including a heavy 6-1 defeat by Bayern Munich.
The result against Elversberg leaves RB Leipzig with a perfect record at home, despite their difficulties in away fixtures.
They will face another test away from home in the next round, when they travel to play Schalke.
