Last played
M'gladbach sit 18th in the Bundesliga table with 0 points from 4 matches. Four games, four defeats, 6 goals scored and 16 conceded. The goal difference reads -10.
On Saturday 19 September they lost 3-4 at home to Mainz on matchday 4. Three goals at home and still nothing to show for it. That is the fourth reverse in a row, the run spelled out as 4L.
The split is where it gets strange. Across 11 home matches the record is 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. Across 13 away matches it is 0 wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats. Five wins in front of their own crowd, not one on the road. The season's form line, WLLLL, tells the same story in miniature: a win, then four losses.
Next comes a trip to 1. FC Köln on Sunday 11 October, matchday 5. Away form is the problem, and the fixture list has handed them another away day.
For context at the other end, Dortmund lead on 13 points with a goal difference of +7, ahead of Bayern on 11 and +12. Freiburg and Leverkusen both have 10. Patrik Schick of Leverkusen tops the scoring charts with 5, one clear of Michael Olise, Younes Ebnoutalib and Yuito Suzuki.
Zero points after four games is not a slow start. It is a hole, and the away form is the shovel.
The league's own next round, matchday 4, pairs RB Leipzig with Frankfurt on Saturday 10 October — a fixture with no bearing on M'gladbach's troubles, but a reminder of how quickly the table separates.
