The first leg will be played on Wednesday 17 February with the trip to Germany coming on Tuesday 9 March.

The teams have played each other in European competition before. It was in the 2010/11 Europa League group stage, with groups of four teams who played each other twice. In the first match in Germany, Gregorio Manzano's Sevilla FC won 1-0 through Cigarini's goal. The teams drew 2-2 in Nervión, with Kanouté and Romaric scoring for Sevilla and Kagawa and Subotic for Dortmund.

Dortmund qualified in first position in a group that included Lazio, Bruges and Zenit. They are fifth in the Bundesliga and have just sacked their coach Lucien Favre after losing 5-1 at home to Stuttgart. Favre has been replaced by his assistant manager, Edin Terzic.
