The match at the BayArena will be the final competitive match of 2020. The DFB will shortly announce whether the match against Eintracht Frankfurt will be played on Tuesday 22 December or on Wednesday 23 December. At the moment it is unclear whether or not fans will be allowed to attend the tie.

Curious record: While the Werkself have played Eintracht Frankfurt 70 times in the league, this is only the second meeting in the DFB Cup. All Bayer 04 supporters will remember the first encounter: The two teams faced each other at the semi-final stage in 1993. In the anticipated final, the Werkself ran out 3-0 winners. Andreas Thom (2) and Ulf Kirsten scored for Bayer 04. Kirsten struck again in the final as Bayer 04 lifted the DFB Cup for the first time with a 1-0 victory against Hertha Berlin Reserves.
