Eddie Howe’s United beat Gateshead 5-1 in a behind-closed-doors encounter at the club’s training ground last weekend, prior to their visit to the continent.
And while new boys Sven Botman and Nick Pope watched on from the terraces last time out, they’re expected to make their United bow here in Austria.

Newcastle United vs 1860 Munich LIVE (NewcastleWorld)
Reverse ball by ASM as he cut in from the left played in Joe Willock and his toe poke was into the chest of the Munich keeper. Should have scored.
It’s been better from NUFC so far this half.
Just the one change has been made by Eddie Howe after the break with Sven Botman coming on for the yellow-carded Jamaal Lascelles.
Interestingly, he comes on as a right-sided central defender alongside fellow left-footer Dan Burn.
At the other end, Elliot Anderson carved open a fantastic opportunity for Callum Wilson, but the striker could only fire over when free in the area.
JORDAN CRONINA typical pre-season friendly. Very stop-start. Lacking any kind of rhythm. 1860 Munich look sharper whereas Newcastle look like a team playing one of their first meaningful games.
