Meanwhile, RB Leipzig have failed to score in five of their last six Bundesliga away games and have netted the joint fewest away goals in the whole division in the second half of this season (6, same as Heidenheim).

50 points from 32 games represents RB Leipzig’s second-worst season in the Bundesliga – they have only been worse off at this stage in 2017/18 (47), when they came sixth and missed out on the Champions League for the only time in their top-flight history.
