The team's final warm-up match ahead of the competitive restart away to SC Freiburg on Saturday 4 February (kick-off: 14:00 CET) takes place on Saturday 28 January (kick-off: 14:00 CET / live on Wölfe TV) against Swedish top-flight side BK Häcken at the AOK Stadion.

Reaction

Tommy Stroot: "I'm neither very satisfied nor very dissatisfied with the game. The team implemented a few things really well but I'm annoyed by the two goals we conceded, as are the players, even though they came about following a set piece and an individual mistake. They still hurt. We need to eliminate errors like that. On the whole, we hardly allowed them to create any chances against us. At the same time, we created a lot of opportunities for ourselves and we could have won by a much higher margin. We're on the right track."
