Team news
Werder Bremen
Viktor Skrypnyk's side finished in 13th place last term. One of the highlights of Werder Bremen's campaign was veteran striker Claudio Pizarro setting a record. During the team's 4-1 rout of Bayer Leverkusen in March, the ex-Bayern Munich man netted a hat-trick, which broke a 31 year record as the eldest ever player to score three in one match.
The hosts, however, have not had a good pre-season, and in fact, have not won any of their past five games, with two losses and three draws.

However, as per Conte, some of Oscar's colleagues may be heading for the exit, meaning that for some, this upcoming friendly could be their last chance to convince their manager:
It was also a good evening for new signing N'Golo Kante, who made his debut during the tie against the Diavolo and will definitely feature again this weekend - possibly as a starter instead of a sub. Veteran defender Branislav Ivanovic could make his return after recovering from a shoulder problem.
