TSG Hoffenheim will face 1860 Munich in a friendly on Saturday.

Hoffenheim and 1860 Munich will square off in an all-German friendly on Saturday (December 17).

The hosts are coming off a 4-3 victory over Elversberg in another all-German friendly on Wednesday. Georgino Rutter's first-half brace helped the Bundesliga outfit claim a 2-0 lead at the break before a thrilling second half saw five goals scored between the two sides.

Meanwhile, 1860 Munich have not been in action since a 2-1 defeat to Austria Klagenfurt in a friendly in November. All three goals came in the first half, with Andrew Irving, Jonas Arweiler and Leandro Morgalla finding the back of the net.

Hoffenheim have another friendly lined up against Greuther Furth next week. Meanwhile, 1860 Munich will face the Baden-Württemberg outfit just one day after taking on Nurnberg.
