United are one of several Premier League clubs weighing up whether to meet Bologna’s €25m (£21.7m) valuation for Jhon Lucumi, according to Corriere di Bologna.

Wallern / Marienkirchen head into the contest positioned 2nd in the Regionalliga - North standings, while Gurten arrive sitting 3rd. It has been a dominant campaign for the hosts, W over their last five and a win rate of 62.5% that few in the Regionalliga - North can match. The visitors have been formidable away from home, W in their last five and a win rate of 62.5% that puts them in elite company. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. Larson has not visited Victory Lane since May last year but remains firmly in championship contention, sitting eighth in the standings as the NASCAR Chase approaches in September.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Wallern / Marienkirchen will look to impose their style on home soil, while Gurten are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. His passing display at the World Cup was yet more evidence of his suitability for City and the possession-heavy style Maresca favours.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Michael Carrick wants a younger defender who can eventually succeed Luke Shaw, whose fitness record makes it difficult to rely on him throughout a demanding campaign.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. On balance, Wallern / Marienkirchen look well-placed to claim all three points, and a 3-2 home win would not come as a surprise. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons.
