1860 Munich finished fourth in the 3. Liga last season. They will be hoping to build on their performances in the last campaign, with players like Stefan Lex and Marcel Bar likely to be crucial this season as well.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, finished 11th last season. Their last season can be cleanly divided into two parts; the one before the January transfer window and the much-improved second half of the campaign after reinforcements arrived. The controversial takeover of the club resulted in them signing players like Bruno Guimaraes, Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier and Matt Targett in January, with all of those players chipping in with important performances.
The club have been active this transfer window too. They have already acquired goalkeeper Nick Pope and Dutch centre-back Sven Botman, and have been linked with players like Lucas Paqueta, Alexander Isak and Armando Broja.
