Second-division soccer club Dynamo Dresden will use the long break between the point match against 1. FC Magdeburg this Saturday (1:00 pm/Sky) and the DFB Cup match against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on August 18 for a test match. Their opponents on August 13 will be regional league side Hertha BSC II at the Dynamo Academy at 3:00 pm. The match will not be open to the public.
"Matches offer the best opportunity to optimize processes and also to give players who have recently had less playing time or are in development some match practice. From a tactical point of view, however, we don't want to reveal too much to our upcoming opponents, so we have decided to play the game in private," said Dynamo's sporting director Thomas Brendel in a club statement.
