Aston Villa is pleased to announce the addition of two friendly matches to the club’s pre-season schedule.

Unai Emery’s Europa League winners will head to Walsall, for what has become a traditional fixture to mark the start of pre-season, on Tuesday, July 21 with kick-off at 7.30pm at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium.

Before the Premier League begins, Villa will also travel to Germany to face Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, August 15. Kick-off at Borussia-Park will be at 3.30pm local time, against a Gladbach side who finished 12th in last season’s Bundesliga.

The club have already confirmed a pre-season showpiece fixture with Bayern Munich in Hong Kong on Friday, August 7 in the inaugural Audi Football Summit and will hope to announce further fixtures both domestically and overseas.

Ticket details for the matches against Walsall and Borussia Monchengladbach will be announced in due course while all our pre-season fixtures will be broadcast live on VillaTV. Streaming information will also be confirmed as soon as possible.

Nice one.

I am very tempted by Borussia Monchengladbach.
