Under the leadership of head coach Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham have enjoyed an active and undefeated pre-season schedule. Spurs kicked off their summer preparations in July with a 1-0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons, before embarking on international fixtures that yielded a 2-0 win over Auckland FC and a penalty shootout triumph following a 1-1 draw against Sydney FC. De Zerbi’s squad built further momentum in early August with a hard-fought 2-1 victory away against Chelsea, before concluding their recent outings with a 1-1 draw against La Liga's Getafe.
TSG Hoffenheim pre-season journey
TSG Hoffenheim enter the Tyneside-bound leg of their tour on the back of an impressive 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign under manager Christian Ilzer, which saw the Sinsheim club secure European qualification once again. Throughout their summer schedule, Ilzer’s side has focused on sharpening their high-intensity pressing and quick vertical transitions through a series of demanding domestic and international tests. Facing Premier League opposition in London gives Hoffenheim the ideal platform to test their tactical discipline before opening their competitive season in the DFB-Pokal and Bundesliga.
