Bobic says he has warned the club's own fans that if they don't stay away, their opponents could be handed the win.
"We talked a lot with our own fans at Frankfurt and said 'listen guys, don't show up at the stadium - if you show up at the stadium, we will lose this game because the rules are very strict.' If they show up, the result goes to the away team," Bobic told ESPN and continued:
"[The fans] are smart, though. They've followed the rules in the last weeks, they've done a lot for the community, especially for the elders. So we are confident, we are in good communication with the fan groups and the signal from the fans is very positive that they won't show up at the stadium.
"That's the right thing to do. It's not allowed - we've re-opened a lot of things, but that's not allowed, big groups. Don't show up at the stadium, it makes no sense."
Frankfurt face Borussia Mönchengladbach on May 16.
