Match facts ahead of #BMGWOB

Everything to know before the Foals take on VfL Wolfsburg at home on Saturday evening (20:30 CEST).

Spectators: 

• The seven day infection rate, which shows how many new cases have been confirmed per 100,000 inhabitants, has increased in Mönchengladbach and currently sits at 36.8 (as of 16th October). As such, the local health authority and regulatory agency have confirmed that only 300 fans will be permitted to attend tomorrow's game. 
• A Bundesliga game at 20:30 CEST on a Saturday night is not usually part of the schedule. This season, there will be two games kicking off at this time on matchdays 4 and 8. This is in order to accommodate the international breaks in both October and November. Matchdays 4 and 8 will have no Friday evening fixture. In order to allow players sufficient time to recover after international duty, there will instead be one game played at 20:30 CEST on each of those matchdays.

Other news: 

• Until further notice, Borussia will no longer be playing club anthem, “Die Seele brennt” due to an ongoing legal case brought forward by the songwriters. Until this matter is resolved, the song will no longer be played as part of pre-match proceedings at Borussia’s home games.
