REACTION TO THE DRAW
Director of sport Andreas Bornemann: "We're obviously delighted to have a home game against incredibly attractive opponents. That said, Borussia Dortmund are one of the toughest draws you can get."
Head coach Timo Schultz: "I remember my last game against Dortmund very well. I was assistant coach to Thomas Meggle when we lost 3-0 in the DFB Cup second round on 28 October 2014. The only member of our current squad to play that day is our captain, Philipp Ziereis. I'm looking forward to getting revenge now, that's for sure (he grins)."
