As the new season approaches, Nottingham Forest's decision to stand behind Nuno Espirito Santo as head coach has been under scrutiny, but the club's management has shown confidence by backing him in the transfer market.

With more signings expected, Forest and Nuno can reflect positively on their pre-season preparations, considering the quality of opponents and environments they've faced. Despite a challenging 1-0 loss to Elche in sweltering Spanish conditions at the end of a rigorous tour, they returned home to hold Villarreal to a goalless draw.


Meanwhile, Olympiacos is leveraging their success in the 2023-24 season, notably winning the Europa Conference League, to build momentum. This triumph capped an otherwise disappointing year but laid the groundwork for Jose Luis Mendilibar to strengthen the squad for a renewed challenge in the Super League.

Recent acquisitions include Marko Stamenic on loan from Forest, as well as defender Lorenzo Pirola from Salernitana and forward Roman Yaremchuk from Club Brugge.

Having played six friendlies so far, Olympiacos extended their unbeaten streak to five games with a recent 1-1 draw against Roma.


Prediction:  Olympiacos 1-2 Nottingham Forest
