The DFB has scheduled the 2023/24 DFB-Pokal round of 16 ties: Borussia Dortmund will be away to VfB Stuttgart at 20:45 CET on 6 December. The game will be broadcast live by ZDF and Sky.
BVB came through the first round of this season’s cup competition thanks to a 6-1 victory against TSV Schott Mainz in mid-August. The Black & Yellows then ran out 1-0 winners against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim last week and progressed through to the round of 16. Stuttgart reached the next round by beating Balingen (4-0) and Union Berlin (1-0).
The two teams have met in the DFB-Pokal on five previous occasions, three times in Stuttgart and two times in Dortmund. The Black & Yellows have won three of their cup meetings including the most recent one in February 2016 when BVB won 3-1 away in the quarter-finals.
Borussia will travel to Stuttgart for the first time this season on Saturday, with the two teams set to battle for Bundesliga points on Matchday 11 of the campaign. (cr)
