No sooner have Huddersfield Town dispatched League One outfit Bury FC in their second pre-season outing, all eyes turn to the clash against SV Sandhausen tomorrow evening.

Similarly Town’s Chris Lowe, Christopher Schindler , Collin Quaner and Elias Kachunga have all previously faced the side who are the smallest German professional football club playing in the country’s second division.

With a number of family and friends of the German contingent also likely to be present, there should be a familiarity over proceedings as well as a ‘warm’ reception with humid temperatures of around 29-30 degrees expected.

“They’re a very physical Bundesliga.2 side who start their season in ten days time so I expect a step-up in challenge,” David Wagner said after the 3-1 win at Bury.

“That is exactly what we have asked for though – to play another hour or so at another level.

“They are a well established Bundesliga.2 side who have been in the league for about five years now so it will be a proper test, task and challenge.”
