Brentford and Borussia Monchengladbach will take part in their final pre-season fixture as the pair meet in West London on Friday night.
Brentford had a terrific Premier League campaign last season, as they finished in 10th position on 56 points.
The downside to that success is that The Bees have lost long-serving manager Thomas Frank to Spurs, with Keith Andrews taking over from the Dane.
Brentford begin their Premier League campaign a week on Sunday as they travel to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest.
As for Gladbach, last season proved to be a bit of an improvement, as they finished in 10th position in the Bundesliga table, only seven points behind Mainz in sixth.
Ex-Bayer Leverkusen head coach Gerardo Seoane will begin their campaign with a trip to lower league Delmenhorst next Sunday, before taking on newly-promoted Hamburg in the Bundesliga curtain-raiser the week after.
How the bookies view it: Bees favourites
Brentford have been installed as favourites here, with BoyleSports pricing them up at 20/21.
A win for The Foals is priced at 17/10 with the same firm, whilst the draw is 13/5.
Head to head: First-ever meeting
Perhaps unsurprisingly, these two clubs have never faced each other before.
Players to watch: Machino to get off the mark?
Despite suffering relegation with Holstein Kiel last season, Shuto Machino still had an impressive personal season last year. The Japanese frontman scored 11 times in the Bundesliga, and he may be worth a look at in the goal-scorer markets once odds are released.
Predicted line-ups:
With Bryan Mbeumo joining Manchester United and Yoane Wissa potentially joining him out the exit door, Keith Andrews will likely start with Igor Thiago up front.
The Foals' top scorer last season, Tim Kleindienst, is likely to miss the trip to West London due to injury, so new signings Haris Tabakovic and Shuto Machino will likely fight out for the starting number nine role.
Brentford: Kelleher, Kayode, Van den Berg, Collins, Henry, Carvalho, Yarmolyuk, Jensen, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard, Thiago
Borussia Monchengladbach: Nicolas, Scally, Elvedi, Fredrich, Netz, Reitz, Sander, Honorat, Stoger, Hack, Machino
Anything else catch the eye?
As is often the case with these types of matches, goals are the safest way to approach them, especially given these two attack-minded sides.
Brentford’s 19 Premier League fixtures at their West London base last season averaged an eye-catching 3.95 goals per game, with 14 (74%) of them seeing goals at both ends, whilst 12 (63%) went Over 2.5 Goals.
Gladbach’s final 12 Bundesliga fixtures of last season averaged a whopping 4.00 goals per game, with 10 (83%) of them seeing goals at both ends, whilst 10 (83%) also saw a minimum of three strikes.
