The two sides have previously met 12 times in the Bundesliga, whilst this will be the first encounter in the cup. It will also be a return to Brandenburg for Leonardo Bittencourt, where he became a professional. The 28-year-old came through Energie’s academy. “It’s a real highlight for me. I have goose bumps just thinking about returning. It's a little dream come true,” he said after the draw was made.
