Parallel to the late Wednesday night game at Gladbach's Borussia Park (live on Sky) there is the tie between TSG Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig that will be broadcast on terrestrial TV. FC Köln entertain FC Schalke 04 earlier at 18.30 CET, which means there may well be heavier traffic on the way to Mönchengladbach. Supporters are advised to set off in good time.

Tickets are already on sale to Club members and Bayer 04 fans who have previously bought tickets. Bayer 04 supporters have until 24 October to  secure tickets for the Werkself DFB Cup second round tie before advance ticket sales end.
