Hoffenheim are back in action on Wednesday (December 14) when they take on Elversberg in a friendly at the Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion.
Andre Breitenreiter’s men were last in action on November 12 when they lost against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and will look to return to winning ways.
Midway through the 2022-23 Bundesliga, Hoffenheim are 11th in the standings after picking up 18 points from 15 games.
They're winless in their last five league games, picking up one point from the last 15 since October. That has been owing to their struggles at home, where they have lost four of their last five games and hold the league’s fifth-worst record with ten points from eight games.
Meanwhile, Elversberg maintained their fine run of results last time out, as they secured a 3-0 victory over Freiburg II.
They're on a five-game unbeaten run, claiming four wins and a draw since a 1-0 loss to Bochum in the DFB Pokal in October. Elversberg are atop the German 3. Liga standings after picking up 41 points from 17 games.
