Valencia and Nottingham Forest face each other in an interesting mid-season friendly on Friday. Both sides have been struggling for form in the first half of the campaign, hence will try to make the most of the mid-season assignments to get their season on track. Even though Nottingham have moved away from the bottom spot in the Premier League, they still find themselves in the relegation places.
However, the World Cup break would have come at the wrong time for Steve Cooper’s side. Forest are unbeaten in their last three domestic matches and have won two of them, including a EFL Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur. This has helped them move to 18th in the standings with 13 points from 15 games. Meanwhile, Valencia have been equally inconsistent in La Liga. They are sitting 10th in the table with 19 points from 14 games. In fact, Valencia have won only one of their last five league games.
