  2. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany audience sizes are limited by local authorities.
  3. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany no audience was allowed to be present by local authorities.
  4. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany and the organisational effort required to host the fixture, the teams exchanged the home rights to the match.
