Borussia Dortmund have not lost in their own stadium on a Friday for over 20 years or 38 games. This is the longest Friday night unbeaten streak in Bundesliga history. On the 7th matchday, BVB would like to do justice to these unique statistics, but the newcomers from FC St. Pauli.
Borussia’s last Friday loss was in 2004. At that time, BVB lost against rivals in the Revierderby FC Schalke 04.
Today’s coach could very well be in the stadium there. A year earlier, Nuri Şahin, aged 14 at the time, was on the sidelines of Dortmund’s stadium in the Champions League against Real Madrid and supported the BVB professionals as a ball boy. It is unlikely that he also watched the historic duel against the Knappen live. After missing two Dortmund penalties and a yellow-red card for Tomáš Rosický, Ebbe Sand scored the winning goal for the royal blue in the 89th minute and ensured Dortmund’s final defeat at home on Friday night.
Still without a home loss against St. Paul
And now? Of all people, he is being sent FC St. Paul as a newcomer to this series and steal three points from Signal Iduna Park? The Kiezkickers have yet to register an away win in the Bundesliga against BVB, only drawing three times in eight games and leaving the field five times as losers. But: The last meeting so far – although it was at the Millerntor – went to “Boys in Brown.” In January 2022, Saint Pauli won the cup at home against Dortmund 2-1, knocking them out in the round of 16.

Another success for Hamburg on this 7th matchday would at least be a big surprise and certainly not good for Borussia, who would want to extend their unique home record on Friday afternoon. In 38 such games, Dortmund eventually won 29 times and drew nine times. The Westphalians won four times, 5:1 or 6:1, and they only missed two goals. Over the last 20 years, the average points on Friday night in their own stadium is 2.5 points, and the overall average for home games is 2. Historically, BVB played 147 times on Friday in their own stadium, losing just 19 games. A decision on whether to further improve the statistics will be made soon – on Friday night.
