RB Leipzig had only 700 fans accompany them to the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the smallest away attendance of their season.
This is significantly lower than other visiting teams, with Hamburger SV drawing 8,000 fans and Eintracht Frankfurt bringing 7,000.
The low turnout impacts RB Leipzig's ranking in the Auswärtsfahrertabelle (away attendance table), dropping them out of the top 25.
Why this matters:: Lower away support can affect team morale and performance, especially in crucial matches. It also highlights the difference in fan base size and dedication compared to other Bundesliga teams.
Borussia Mönchengladbach enjoyed a boost of optimism after four consecutive wins against Karlsruhe, St. Pauli, Köln and Heidenheim. However, despite RB Leipzig's strong on-field performance, their away support lags behind other top teams. Several factors contribute to away attendance, including match timing, distance, and fan culture. The game took place on a Friday evening, which may have deterred some fans from traveling.
Looking at the Auswärtsfahrertabelle 2025/26, RB Leipzig ranks 24th, with an average of 2,376 away fans. In comparison, 1. FC Köln leads with 7,067 fans. While six of the eight Gladbacher home games were sold out in the guest section, it was not the case for the SC Freiburg game either. Freiburg played on a Sunday evening just three days after a European match in Bologna.
This game also marks the second time RB Leipzig has had fewer than 1,000 fans at an away game, with only 980 fans attending the Augsburg match. Borussia Mönchengladbach has a home attendance utilization rate of 97.8 percent, placing them third-last in this category.
Q: Why did RB Leipzig have such a small away crowd in Mönchengladbach?
