The German Football Association (DFB) has precisely scheduled the DFB-Pokal last 16 ties. BVB will travel to VfL Bochum on Wednesday 8 February at 20:45 CET. The match will be played at the Ruhrstadion in Bochum and will be broadcast live on ZDF and Sky.

BVB came through the opening two rounds thanks to away victories over 1860 Munich (3-0) and Hannover 96 (2-0). VfL Bochum progressed through the first round courtesy of a 3-0 triumph away to Viktoria Berlin before beating SV Elversberg 1-0 away from home to book their place in the last 16.

The two teams have only faced off once in the DFB-Pokal before: they went head-to-head in March 1983, with BVB winning the tie by a 3-1 scoreline after extra-time. (cr)
