The friendly match between Nottingham Forest and Rennes will take place at St. George's Park on Wednesday at 11:30 pm IST.
On Wednesday, the pre-season friendlies continue with Nottingham Forest facing off against the French team, Rennes, at St. George’s Park. Nottingham Forest has experienced a variety of outcomes in their matches throughout July, while Rennes has managed to remain undefeated in all four of their pre-season friendlies.
Ahead of Wednesday’s match, Nottingham Forest enters on the back of a 1-0 loss to PSV Eindhoven, marking their second consecutive friendly defeat without scoring a goal. With three losses in five pre-season friendlies and failing to score in each of those defeats, Forest has only managed to score three goals across their previous five warm-up matches. With their Premier League campaign starting against Arsenal on August 12, manager Steve Cooper is likely to field a stronger starting XI for the remaining two friendlies, including the final warm-up game against Eintracht Frankfurt scheduled for this Saturday.
Meanwhile, Rennes comes into Wednesday’s match on the back of an impressive 3-1 victory over West Ham United. With this win, Rennes is now on a three-game winning streak, having previously defeated Saint-Malo and Brest in July, scoring six goals and conceding only two in those matches. As a result, Rennes remains unbeaten in pre-season, securing three wins and one draw so far. This positive form provides them with confidence as they look forward to a strong start in the upcoming 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign, which kicks off next weekend.
Nottingham Forest probable starting lineup: Horvath, Aurier, Worrall, McKenna, Boly, Williams, Mangala, Danilo; Gibbs-White, Awoniyi, Elanga
Rennes probable starting lineup: Mandanda; Doue, Theate, Omari, Belocian, Assignon; Bourigeaud, Santamaria, Majer, Doku, Abline
