Nottingham Forest’s preparation for the coming season will continue with a friendly match against former German champions Bayer Leverkusen. Hosting this encounter, Nottingham’s ultimate target is to improve on their 16th-place finish in the league last season. This will be their penultimate friendly outing, and having lost the last three, our prediction is for the visitors to prevail.
Nottingham Forest have played top opponents this preseason. They are coming straight from a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona and have scored just once in their last three, all which ended in defeat.
Forest had gone unbeaten in their opening four friendly matches. Having lost a few high-profile players in the transfer window showed in their defeats to Sporting (4-1), Udinese (1-0), and Barcelona.
Leverkusen have had a completely different run in preseason, coming here on a perfect stretch of five wins in five matches. Their latest outing ended in a 2-1 victory against Sevilla, which marked only the second time in the five games that they conceded.
The German side has let in just two goals across this period. That win was also their slimmest margin, but they’ll have no concerns, having scored 19 times in their five warm-up games.
They haven’t played a lot of top-flight opposition, though. Carles Martinez’s side will have one more match, against Newcastle United, before embarking on their competitive campaign.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen have not faced off with top opponents in this preseason period. However, they will be very confident, having managed five wins in as many friendly matches. They have been free-scoring and solid in defence at the same time.
Nottingham Forest have suffered straight defeats in their last three outings and are at risk of finishing preseason on a low. They scored just once in those losses, and this will mark another tough outing. Our prediction for Nottingham Forest v Bayer Leverkusen is that Bayer Leverkusen wins to nil.
