Berlin - Bayern Munich will face a tricky away tie at Hertha Berlin, where they have already lost this season, in the German Cup following Sunday's draw for the last 16.

After crashing to a shock 2-0 league defeat at Berlin's Olympic Stadium in September, Niko Kovac's Bayern will return to the capital in February for the next round of the cup.

There will be a second division side in the quarter-finals as Duisburg have been drawn at home to Paderborn.

The teams met in the second Bundesliga on Saturday with hosts Duisburg running out 2-0 winners.
