In the history of the DFB-Pokal, FC Schalke 04 and VfL Wolfsburg have crossed paths three times, albeit with four games in total. In round one of the 1970/1971 season, the game in Wolfsburg finished 2-2, so a replay was arranged in Gelsenkirchen a few days later. The Knappen won the replay 3-1 in the competition’s first ever penalty shootout.

In the last 16 of the 2007/2008 season, the game between these two sides also went to penalties, with the Wolves this time winning 5-3. The most recent cup meeting between Schalke and Wolfsburg was three years ago in the quarter final. Schalke won in the VELTINS-Arena thanks to a single Guido Burgstaller goal (1-0).
