Borussia Dortmund prepare to play their fourth friendly of the summer on Monday, with the German giants taking on La Liga side Valencia in a pre-season contest.

Edin Terzic’s side are building towards their DFB-Pokal tie with 1860 Munich on July 29, while Valencia will kick off their 2022-23 La Liga campaign at home to Girona on August 14.

BVB have already gone through three friendlies this summer, opening their preparations for the new campaign with a 3-1 victory over Luner SV on July 5 before defeating Dynamo Dersden 2-0 four days later.

They also took on Verl on Thursday, putting five unanswered goals past the German side, and they now have friendlies with Valencia and Villarreal before beginning their DFB-Pokal campaign away to 1860 Munich.

Dortmund will then play another friendly against Antalyaspor on July 30 before starting their 2022-23 Bundesliga s campaign at home to Bayer Leverkusen on August 6.

Meanwhile, Valencia are now under the leadership of Gennaro Gattuso who was unveiled as the club’s new manager towards the start of June.

Gattuso’s side finished ninth in La Liga last season, and they have not been a top-four side since 2018-19, finishing ninth, 13th and ninth in the last three campaigns.

They have signed Samu Castillejo and Hugo Duro this summer, but Helder Costa, Ilaix Moriba, Omar Alderete and Bryan Gil have returned to their parent clubs after loan spells.

Valencia are yet to play a pre-season game this summer, but they will be taking on Dortmund, St Gallen and Stuttgart in quick succession, while they will also face Nottingham Forest, Castellon and Atalanta BC as part of their preparations for the new season.

Los Che will begin their 2022-23 campaign against Girona, and it will be fascinating to see whether they are capable of challenging for a European spot next season.
