TSG to play friendly against Augsburg

This season's winter break will be a short one – TSG Hoffenheim will return to Bundesliga action as early as on 12 January. A friendly has been scheduled for the first weekend of January, with Pellegrino Matarazzo's team set to visit league rivals FC Augsburg on 6 January.

After their match against SV Darmstadt 98 (Tuesday at 20:30 CET / live updates on tsg-hoffenheim.de), the TSG players will sign off for a short winter break. Head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo will then welcome his charges back onto the training ground at 15:00 CET on 2 January. That will be followed by a friendly match on 6 January: TSG will face FC Augsburg away from home at 13:00 CET on Three Kings' Day. The TSG squad will then head over into the neighbouring state of Bavaria on 12 January (20:30 CET / live updates on tsg-hoffenheim.de), where they will take on Bayern Munich for Bundesliga points.
