Hoffenheim will host Greuther Furth on Tuesday (December 20) at the Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion in a friendly.
The hosts have endured a rather difficult campaign, dropping off the pace after a fairly decent start to their season. Hoffenheim lost 2-1 at home to Wolfsburg in their last league outing and will feel they deserved more from the game after being the more dominant side in attack. Hoffenheim will play the third of three friendlies this week.
Greuther, meanwhile, have not fared much better than their opponents this season but have begun to string together results under new manager Alexander Zorniger. They played out a 1-1 draw against Darmstadt in their last competitive game, holding on to a sole point after Gideon Jung's second-half dismissal.
Tuesday's game will mark their final game of the year.
