RB Leipzig’s dazzling debut Bundesliga season shows no sign of slowing down. Despite a recent defeat to Borussia Dortmund, the newly promoted side from eastern Germany has only lost three matches this season and remains Bayern Munich’s fiercest title challenger—trailing the league leaders by just four points. While this kind of performance may seem like an anomaly for a newly promoted team, Leipzig has plenty of substance backing its ambitions to contend for the Bundesliga crown.
No other promoted team in Bundesliga history has gone unbeaten in their first 11 matches—until Leipzig did it. Their 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen etched their name into the record books. It wasn’t until Matchday 14 that Leipzig suffered their first loss of the season. Between late September and early December, they racked up eight consecutive wins, a streak that even Bayern struggled to match. With 13 victories in their first 19 games, Leipzig sits just four points off the top and has recorded seven clean sheets—third-best in the league.
In November, Leipzig made history by becoming the first club from Saxony to top the Bundesliga standings. Fueled by the energy of their passionate home supporters, they’ve also earned the league’s best home record: eight wins and one draw in nine matches. On the road, Leipzig ranks second in away form, collecting 17 out of a possible 30 points. Only Bayern, Dortmund, and Ingolstadt have managed to defeat them on their home turf.
Leipzig opened the scoring in 13 of their 19 matches. Even when conceding first, they rarely go down without a fight. They staged a thrilling comeback against Leverkusen and went unbeaten in both clashes with Hoffenheim, earning a 2-2 draw and a 2-1 win. Under manager Ralph Hasenhüttl, Leipzig has shown the grit and determination to bounce back under pressure.
Statistically, Leipzig also ranks among the Bundesliga’s hardest-working teams. Their players cover an average of 115.2 kilometers per match—trailing only Ingolstadt and Freiburg. That high work rate explains why they’ve scored nine of their goals in the final 15 minutes, when most opponents are already running on fumes.
Swedish international Emil Forsberg has been the heartbeat of Leipzig’s attack. With five goals and nine assists, he leads the league in assists and has been central to the team’s offensive rhythm. Although the 25-year-old missed the last three matches due to suspension, fans are eagerly awaiting his return and expect him to continue delivering results.
