The ties for the last eight will take place on 6th and 7th February. The schedule is yet to be confirmed.

The first DFB-Pokal meeting between the two sides came in 1970/71. The Royal Blues were taken to a first-round replay by the Wolves back then, but went through courtesy of a 3-1 penalty-shootout win. The first meeting had finished 2-2, while it was 1-1 at the end of the replay.

Another match-up followed in the 2007/08 campaign. This one also went to spot-kicks, although it was Wolfsburg were held their nerve in the shootout, winning 5-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time.
