Only 12 home wins in a streak of 56 matches has happened twice in Bundesliga history.

In the 58 seasons of the Bundesliga, there have been over 17,000 sequences of 56 matches.

There has NEVER previously been a sequence of 56 Bundesliga matches with 28 away wins.

Perhaps the most telling statistic in the @Bundesliga and one which will be interesting to follow in other leagues:

Yellow cards per match with a crowd
Home teams 1.78
Away teams 2.11

Yellow cards per match behind closed doors
Home teams 2.30
Away teams 2.17

UPDATE: 65 matches have now been played behind closed doors in this season's @Bundesliga.

Home wins: 17 (26%)

Away wins: 31 (48%)

So few home wins in a sequence of 65 matches was never recorded in the competition prior to June 2020.

UPDATE after 65 #Bundesliga matches behind closed doors:

Yellow cards per match with a crowd
Home teams 1.78
Away teams 2.11

Yellow cards per match behind closed doors
Home teams 2.26
Away teams 2.24
