Oliver Glasner was named as Nottingham Forest’s new manager in pre-season, replacing Vitor Pereira. Glasner will be tasked with improving Forest’s 16th-place finish last season.
The Tricky Trees started pre-season in top form and beat Notts County 2-0, Blackburn 3-0 and Portimonense 2-1. Three consecutive defeats followed against Sporting 4-1, Udinese 1-0 and Barcelona 1-0.
Forest responded positively and won their final two friendlies at the City Ground, starting with a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen.
Glasner’s side continued their winning run with a comfortable 2-0 home victory against Brest. Chris Wood and Luca Netz struck in the first half.
Leeds Have Long-Term Away Problems
Daniel Farke’s Leeds finished 14th in the 2025/26 Premier League table. The Whites gained just 15 points on the road and failed to win in 17 of their 19 away games.
Leeds fell to a 3-0 away loss at West Ham in their final game last season. The losing streak continued in pre-season after a 3-2 Premier League Summer Series defeat to Wrexham.
The Whites won their following three games, beating Sunderland 1-0, Leeds 4-2 and RB Leipzig 2-0. Farke’s side couldn’t maintain winning form and drew 1-1 against Man United.
Farke’s outfit completed pre-season with a 4-0home triumph against Augsburg. Anton Stach, Tarik Muharemovic and James Justin scored in the opening 28 minutes and Lukas Nmecha also found the net late on.

Verdict
Nottingham Forest are a strong side and will target momentum after ending pre-season in top form. Leeds aren’t a good away team and a Forest win is tipped to win in the Premier League.
