Bayern Munich will be confident of reaching the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal this season after being drawn at home to Darmstadt in one of three all-Bundesliga ties which promises to see the field of top-flight clubs further decimated heading into the last eight.
Bayern are looking to keep their hopes alive of winning a treble and will be happy to have been given a home draw in the last 16.
Werder Bremen were not so fortunate as they were drawn away to Borussia Moenchengladbach, while Borussia Dortmund head to Bundesliga rivals Augsburg.
