The visitors will aim to strengthen their position in third place in the Bundesliga table, while their hosts sit 12th following a dip in form before the break.

After their 10th-placed finish last time around, Die Fohlen currently sit 12th after 16 outings with just 17 points on the board, having only managed four victories alongside their seven defeats.

It is at the back where Gerardo Seoane's men have struggled thus far, with only Darmstadt having conceded more than the 35 goals they have shipped, and they headed into the winter break in the midst of a poor run in December, firstly falling to a 3-1 defeat away at strugglers Union Berlin.

Die Fohlen then hosted Werder Bremen and were held to a 2-2 draw despite going 2-1 up through a Rocco Reitz brace, before most recently facing a tough trip to Eintracht Frankfurt and leaving empty-handed in agonising fashion, as they led 1-0 through Max Wober until injury time, only for Aurelio Buta and Robin Koch to turn the game on its head with goals in the dying embers after Wober was sent off.
