There’s no more significant advantage in sports, let alone in football, than playing at home in front of your fans, right? Well, that’s what we thought before discovering the curious and bizarre case of 1. FC Magdeburg of Bundesliga 2.Until recently, Magdeburg was unique in that it was the only club from extinct East Germany to win a major European competition (the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1974). However, this campaign brought them back under the spotlight for a new, specific reason – they’re on the verge of promotion to the Bundesliga without a single home win!?##GALERIJA##Yes, you read it right. Magdeburg are currently third in the German second division, with 32 points from 19 games, just two points below the joint table-toppers, HSV and Koln.For some unknown reason, the side led by tactician Christian Titz hasn’t recorded a sole victory in nine games at their Avnet Arena, a 30,908-seater, packed for every game with Magdeburg’s passionate supporters. Their current balance sheet shows seven draws and two losses, the second-worst result in the entire league! This means they would be relegated if only the home games would count.An emotional evening in East Germany as 1.FC Magdeburg entertained Eintracht Braunschweig in the 2.Bundesliga in their first home game of 2025See the video here: https://t.co/t3BTJwwzwl#Bundesliga2 #Magdeburg #MagdeburgAttack #BTSV #fussball #football #deutschland pic.twitter.com/YdYzj1I6Ku— Andy (@fussballeurope) January 25, 2025 Thankfully for them, Titz’s boys have been spectacular far away from home, clinching eight victories and a single draw and defeat in ten away games altogether.Some psychologists would probably have a few words to say about this phenomenon, and we’ll keep our eyes on Magdeburg to see if it is really possible to achieve such bizarre success in modern-day sports.##NAJAVA_MECA_8657090##
