Nottingham Forest’s full pre-season schedule

Forest have six pre-season friendlies confirmed, although there is talk of two more intriguing games which could be added.

There is speculation that on the weekend of the 8th of August, Glasner’s men will face Barcelona and Udinese in Udine, Italy.

It’s understood that the three clubs will feature in a triangular tournament, so it’ll be a good test to see where the Tricky Trees are at.

But, as it stands, those two games are yet to be announced by the club, so these are the confirmed friendlies to jot down in your diary.

• 18th July: Notts County vs Forest – 3pm at Meadow Lane
• 22nd July: Forest vs Blackburn – 11am at Estadio da Nora
• 26th July: Vitoria vs Forest – Portugal (behind closed doors)
• 31st July: Sporting vs Forest – 7:45pm at Estadio Algarve
• 12th August: Forest vs Bayer Leverkusen – 7:45pm at City Ground
• 16th August: Forest vs Brest – 2pm at City Ground

For Forest supporters not travelling to watch the away games, there are two opportunities to see the team at the City Ground.

Tickets are on sale on the club’s official website, so they are accessible to non-season ticket holders.

This pre-season will be especially fascinating to follow, as Glasner will be implementing a completely different style of play.

The Austrian head coach is expected to change the formation to his trademark 3-4-2-1.
