Are BVB fans right to be angry, Bundesliga teams' primetime stats | OneFootball

Last Friday evening, the tennis balls made a return. BVB fans once again used the felt ball as a protest tool against the German Football League. The cause of the fans' anger this time was the scheduling of Borussia's matches.

On banners, the Dortmund supporters declared: "We decide when you play" and "Pro Saturdays at half-past three". But has BVB really played so rarely at the Bundesliga's prime time this season?

The supporters of FC Heidenheim have the least reason to protest. Out of the eight opportunities so far, FCH played seven times on Saturday afternoon.

Simultaneously, FC Augsburg, VfL Wolfsburg, and RB Leipzig also kicked off six times. Bayer Leverkusen, Hoffenheim, and Werder Bremen have participated five times.

Mainz 05 and VfB Stuttgart have experienced four kick-offs at the "sacred time" of the German top league. Only then does BVB follow. Dortmund has played three times on Saturdays at 3:30 PM so far. The same goes for Frankfurt, Union, Freiburg, HSV, and St. Pauli.

The greatest dissatisfaction would be justified among the supporters of FC Bayern, 1. FC Köln, and Borussia Mönchengladbach. They have only had the chance to play twice at the supposedly best kickoff time of the Bundesliga.
