Fourth friendly against Salernitana

Preparations in Kitzbühel have been in full swing since Monday, and there will be an opportunity for further fine-tuning in the friendly against Salernitana on Saturday. The Serie A side, whose ranks include former Bundesliga star Franck Ribéry, will not take on TSG in two periods of 45 minutes as is custom, but will instead a play a game divided into four lots of 30 minutes.

While TSG were contesting a friendly against Puskás Akadémia on Wednesday, which they won 2-0, the team from the Italian port city were taking on fellow Bundesliga club FC Schalke 04. The game ended goalless. Last season saw Salernitana return to the Italian top flight for the first time in 22 years and coach Davide Nicola's charges kept their place in the division thanks to a 17th-place finish. The Italians' captain and best-known player is Franck Ribéry. The 39-year-old Frenchman previously spent 12 years plying his trade for FC Bayern Munich.

There will be no pre-sale of tickets for the game. TSG fans who want to attend the game in Kitzbühel live can purchase a match ticket from the box office on the day. The stadium will open 90 minutes before kick-off.

For all those following from home, the match will be live-streamed via tsg-hoffenheim.de and TSG's YouTube channel.
