Newcastle United will take on an 1860 Munich side that were thrashed 6-0 by Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend with the third tier German side accused of "giving up" by their boss Michael Kollner.
The team were also accused of suffering from a bit of fatigue after the team attended a fan festival the day before but even after some home truths in the 1860 Munich camp this week the reality is Newcastle have the ideal chance to build some momentum and confidence in this fixture. This will be the areas of focus for Eddie Howe's squad after a great week so far in Austria.
Going into the Newcastle game, 52-year-old former Nurnberg coach Kollner was asked about his side's hammering at the hands of Gladbach, and said: "Look we had a lot of chances to score, but just weren't callous enough. On the other hand, you can see that you can't give up in any minute.
