Fenerbahce and Villarreal will go head-to-head at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in a friendly on Saturday (December 3).
The La Liga side booked their place in the second round of the Copa del Rey last time out and will look to continue in the same vein.
Fenerbahce, meanwhile, returned to winning ways on Wednesday, seeing off Rayo Vallecano in their first friendly outing of the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup break.
That followed a disappointing 2-1 loss to Giresunspor in the Super Lig on November 12, which snapped their 14-game unbeaten run. Fenerbahce are second in the Super Lig standings, picking up 29 points from 13 games.
Meanwhile, Villarreal stormed through to the second round of the Copa del Rey with a 9-0 win over amateur side Santa Amalia.
Before that, they claimed a 1-0 win over Espanyol in La Liga on November 9, which saw their four-game winless run come to an end. Villarreal are ninth in the La Liga standings, picking up 21 points from 14 games.
