• The Oberliga side from Lower Saxony have opted to host the Pokal game at the Stadion an die Bremer Brücke in Osnabrück (Photo: imago/ Sports Press Photo), which houses up to 16,100 spectators, since the capacity of their own ground, the Hasestadion, is too small. There are no more tickets available for the game.
• Gladbach were allocated roughly 7,300 tickets, which were all sold to fans. More than 10,000 fans are expected to be at the ground to support the Foals.
