The game will take place on either the 29th or 30th October in the Schüco-Arena, and the exact date has not yet been confirmed.

Bielefeld celebrated a 1-0 win against Viktoria Berlin in the first round. Schalke beat SV Drochtersen/Assel 5-0 to advance.

The two sides have been drawn against each other on three occasions in the DFB-Pokal so far, and there have been four games. In the 1982/83 season, the game finished 2-2 (AET) in the round-of-16 of the DFB-Pokal, and Schalke won the replay 1-0 in Bielefeld.

Schalke also had more joy than their opponents in the other two meetings. S04 ran out 1-0 winners in the first round in 1967/68 and won 2-1 in the second round in 2001/02. This could be a good omen, as Schalke won the cup in both of these seasons.
