Preview: Nottingham Forest vs. Sunderland – prediction, team news, lineups

Nottingham Forest and Sunderland will continue their preparations for the new season with a friendly in Spain on Saturday evening.

Sunderland have already played twice this summer, beating South Shields before losing to Gateshead, with both matches taking place last Saturday, while Forest opened their pre-season with a 3-0 success over Chesterfield.

Forest finished 17th in the Premier League last season, and despite being involved in a fierce relegation battle, they actually ended the campaign six points above 18th-placed Luton Town.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will begin their 2024-25 Premier League campaign at home to Bournemouth on August 17, but they will play five times before then, taking on Sunderland, Millwall, Elche, Villarreal and Olympiacos.

The Reds opened their preparations for the new season with a 3-0 success over Chesterfield last Saturday, with Chris Wood, Josh Bowler and Ibrahim Sangare on the scoresheet at the SMH Group Stadium.

Forest have made four signings this summer, with the biggest of those proving to be Elliot Anderson, who has arrived at the City Ground in a surprise deal from Newcastle United.

There have also been a whole host of departures, with Moussa Niakhate making an eye-catching move to Lyon, while Orel Mangala and Remo Freuler are also among those to have departed since the end of last season.
