Hertha Berlin will face Eintracht Braunschweig at the Olympiapark Hanns Braun on Wednesday in a friendly clash between the two sides.
Hertha Berlin have struggled to come alive in the league this season and find themselves just outside the drop zone with the midpoint of the season fast approaching. However, they beat Koln 2-0 in their last game before the World Cup break via goals from Wilfried Kanga and Marco Ritcher.
The Old Lady have already played four friendlies during the international break, most recently facing Hannover and winning 2-1.
Eintracht Braunschweig have also had a largely underwhelming campaign so far, failing to adapt to life in the German second tier. They were beaten 1-0 by Hansa Rostock last time out, falling behind at the hour mark, and will be gutted to have come away with nothing after being the more dominant side in attack.
Wednesday's game will mark Braunschweig's final game of 2022 and they will be looking to close out the year on a positive note.
