Preview: WolfsburgVs Dortmund
The Black and Yellow will next face Wolfsburg after defeat against Augsburg:
Borussia Dortmund will take a trip to the Volkswagen Arena to face off against Wolfsburg in their DFB Pokal RO16 clash. The Black and Yellow have experienced a major dip in form and are desperate to bounce back to winning ways. It has been a week to forget for BVB. It began with a Champions League heartbreak against Real Madrid where they gave away a 0-2 lead followed by a defeat against Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg are also struggling to find their mojo and have been highly inconsistent this season. They have put up a mixed run of performances and have failed to stick to their basics. The Wolves dropped unexpected points against the latest entrants St. Pauli after losing 4-2 to Werder Bremen in their previous outing. They do have a chance but will need to be wary of Dortmund’s overpowered attacking unit.

About DFB-Pokal:
History
The DFB-Pokal (German: [ˌdeːʔɛfˈbeː poˈkaːl]), also known as the German Cup in English,[1][2] is a German knockout football cup competition held annually by the German Football Association (DFB). Sixty-four teams participate in the competition, including all clubs from the Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga along with the four best teams from the 3. Liga. It is considered the second-most important club title in German football after the Bundesliga championship. Taking place from August until May, the winner qualifies for the DFL-Supercup and the UEFA Europa League unless the winner already qualifies for the UEFA Champions League in the Bundesliga.
The competition was founded in 1935, then called the Tschammer-Pokal. The first titleholders were 1. FC Nürnberg. In 1937, Schalke 04 were the first team to win the double. The Tschammer-Pokal was suspended in 1944 due to World War II and disbanded following the demise of Nazi Germany. In 1952–53, the cup was reinstated in West Germany as the DFB-Pokal, named after the DFB, and was won by Rot-Weiss Essen. (FDGB-Pokal, the East German equivalent, started in 1949 and operated through the 1991 season, when it merged with the DFB-Pokal).
Bayern Munich have won a record 20 titles. The current holders are Bayer Leverkusen, who beat 1. FC Kaiserslautern 1–0 in the 2024 final to win their second title. Fortuna Düsseldorf hold the record for most consecutive tournament game wins (18) between 1978 and 1981, winning the cup in 1979 and 1980.
