German side FC Magdeburg are top of the 2.Bundesliga table with zero home wins and the chances of it happening are so slim

They have failed to record a single league victory at the MDCC-Arena this season but against all odds, FC Magdeburg sit top of the 2.Bundesliga table with 32 points from 19 games.

Christian Titz's side maintained their abysmal home form on Friday as they recorded a 1-1 draw against second-bottom Eintracht Braunschweig, who equalised from the penalty spot through Lino Tempelmann.

The team from Magdeburg – a city located along the Elbe River in northern Germany – have picked up seven draws and two losses at home this season, placing them second-to-last in the league for points earned on home soil.

To put their form into perspective, they have managed just nine goals across that immensely frustrating period.

But remarkably, they sit top of the 2.Bundesliga ladder on goal difference thanks to their remarkable form on the road. In fact, Titz's men have picked up eight wins, one draw and one defeat in away games this season.

Michael Yokhin posted a screenshot of the current 2.Bundesliga standings on X, formerly Twitter, after Friday's game at the MDCC-Arena – and it soon went viral.

"Guys, this is insane," he wrote. "Magdeburg are TOP of the table in 2.Bundesliga with ZERO home wins. They the only team in the league without home wins. And they are the leaders. Statistically, the chances of that happening are zero."

Here's how fans reacted to FC Magdeburg's form this season.

One wrote: "The last time they won at home was last February."

A second commented: "1/66000 chance a team doesn't win any of their first 9 home games (assuming a home win prob. of 54 %) and wins at least 8 of their first 10 away games (assuming an away game win prob. of 33 %). 1/50 chance to lead with that record (92 champion had a similar record). So: 1/3,3M."

A third said: "Strange things are happening in football. Home advantage has disappeared in the English PL, where the away teams have now outscored the home teams. Should normally be about +80 to the homes at this point. And now a team is top of the league with zero home wins. Madness."

A fourth wrote: "Magdeburg should shut down the stadium and play home gamea on someone else's ground lol," and a fifth added: "Looking down the table there seems to be a general aversion to winning at home."
