Nottingham - Bayer Leverkusen: Match preview
Nottingham Forest are representatives of the English Premier League who avoided relegation last season. Over 38 rounds, the team collected 44 points and finished 16th in the table, ending the season just five points clear of the relegation zone. It was a very mediocre league campaign, although in the UEFA Europa League the team reached the semi-finals. During their preparations for the new season, the Tricky Trees have already played seven matches, winning three, losing three and drawing one. Soon, on August 22, the team will face Leeds in the Premier League.
Bayer Leverkusen have played five friendly matches in preparation for the new season and won all of them. Moreover, they scored at least three goals in four of those matches. Last season, the team were rather inconsistent and finished sixth in the Bundesliga table. They collected 59 points from 34 matches and finished three points behind fourth place. Therefore, they will compete in the UEFA Europa League in the new season. As for their Bundesliga campaign next season, Bayer will face Elversberg on August 29.
