Duren face Bayern Munich at the Karl-Knipprath-Stadion on Sunday (July 28) in a pre-season friendly. The amateur side have enjoyed a largely positive pre-season campaign, beating Borussia Monchengladbach U23 1-0 in their first outing before beating Wiltz 3-2 the next week.
They then thrashed fifth tier side Hurth 4-0 in their last match, with four different players getting on the scoresheet, including former Bayer Leverkusen youngster Yannik Schlosser. Duren next lock horns with the nation's powerhouse.
Bayern, meanwhile, failed to win the Bundesliga title for the first time in a decade and have appointed Belgium legend Vincent Kompany as their new boss. The former Burnley head coach took charge of his first pre-season game on Wednesday, leading the Bavarians to a 14-1 demolition of Rottach-Eggern.
Following Sunday's game, Bayern face Tottenham Hotspur in Seoul before wrapping up their pre-season with a replay of their match with the Lilywhites in London.
