Borussia Dortmund face Serie A outfit AS Roma in their last pre-season game a week before hosting FC Bayern in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. Niko Kovac’s side beat Arsenal 3-2 at Emirates Stadium last week after struggling for goals in previous friendlies.
The Black and Yellows will face their former attacker Donyell Malen as the Dutch international revived his career at Italy’s capital. Mats Hummels, who ended his career after a short spell at Roma, will also present at his former home.
New signings Konstantinos Karetsas, Joane Gadou, Justin Lerma, Kauã Prates and Takato Yamamoto are going to play for the first time at Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion).
Earlier today, the BVB women’s team beat their Roma counterpart 1-0 in front of over 8,000 fans. Roma Femminile won the domestic double in Italy last season, while BVB are preparing for a season in Regionalliga West (third-tier) after missing out on a fourth successive promotion.
