I just made that number up, but for sure it is close
This made me curious so I thought I would look into it more. Just for this season; first is number of dead-ball goals (direct free-kick/set piece/corner), second is percentage of a team's total goals from dead-ball situations, third is sorted by dead-ball xG against.
1. Leipzig - 1
2. Hoffenheim, Augsburg, Leverkusen - 2
5. Gladbach, Frankfurt - 3
7. Bielefeld - 4
8. Wolfsburg, Koln - 5
10. Mainz, Freiburg, Hertha, Stuttgart, Bayern, Bremen, Union - 6
17. Dortmund - 9
18. Schalke - 12
1. Leipzig, Hoffenheim - 7%
3. Augsburg - 8%
4. Gladbach - 11%
5. Leverkusen, Frankfurt - 12%
7. Bielefeld, Mainz - 17%
9. Koln - 18%
10. Freiburg, Hertha - 21%
12. Stuttgart - 22%
13. Bayern, Bremen - 24%
15. Wolfsburg - 26%
16. Schalke - 27%
17. Union - 29%
18. Dortmund - 35%
1. Bayern - 2.41 dead-ball xGA
2. Leipzig - 2.87
3. Augsburg - 3.30
4. Koln - 3.66
5. Union - 3.69
6. Hoffenheim - 4.00
7. Frankfurt - 4.31
8. Stuttgart - 4.59
9. Wolfsburg - 4.82
10. Leverkusen - 4.96
11. Hertha - 5.11
12. Gladbach - 5.25
13. Bremen - 5.65
14. Freiburg - 5.74
15. Bielefeld - 6.08
16. Mainz - 6.09
17. Dortmund - 6.39
18. Schalke - 9.63
In short: Dortmund's set-piece defending is - quite literally - relegation-level
