MATCHDAY at Elland Road. Tarik Muharemović and Leeds United are back in action today as they welcome Bundesliga side FC Augsburg for the final match of their pre-season programme.
The friendly takes place on Saturday, August 15, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00pm BST at Elland Road. For supporters in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Central Europe, the game begins at 4:00pm CEST.
Final pre-season test for Leeds
Today's game represents the last opportunity for Leeds to sharpen their preparations in competitive match conditions before the focus turns towards the new season.
Daniel Farke's side have faced a demanding set of opponents during the summer and Augsburg provide one more Bundesliga challenge at Elland Road.
Leeds have already enjoyed success against German opposition at home this summer. They recorded a 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig, a match in which Tarik Muharemović impressed in his first appearance at Elland Road.
Today's match comes only three days after Leeds faced Manchester United at Croke Park in Dublin, meaning the squad has had little time to rest before one final test.
Another important afternoon for Muharemović
For Muharemović, the Augsburg fixture represents another valuable opportunity to gain minutes and continue building relationships with his new teammates following his summer move to Leeds.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international has featured regularly during pre-season and has already produced a number of encouraging performances in the Leeds defence.
His latest appearance came against Manchester United in Dublin, where he was named in the starting XI and completed the first half. Our match report looked in more detail at Muharemović's performance against Manchester United.
With competitive football now approaching, today's game offers another chance for the 23-year-old to strengthen his case for an important role in the Leeds squad.
Elland Road ready for Augsburg
Leeds supporters will get another opportunity to see the new-look squad at Elland Road before the pre-season programme officially comes to an end.
Augsburg finished ninth in the Bundesliga last season and should provide Leeds with a useful final examination. The German side will arrive looking to complete their own preparations on a positive note.
Leeds confirmed the fixture earlier this summer, with today's clash completing a pre-season schedule that has taken the club from the United States to Elland Road and Dublin.
