-------------------------------
Nottingham Forest aims for their first pre-season victory as they face Ligue 1 champions Monaco at Chesterfield's SMH Group Stadium. Forest began their summer with a 0-0 draw against Chesterfield, while Monaco recently secured a 5-0 win over Coventry City.
Team Analysis:
Nottingham Forest faces a turbulent 2025, having settled for the Europa League after losing their Champions League spot due to a dispute involving Crystal Palace's relegation to the Conference League. Despite off-field challenges, including player transfers and ownership conflicts, Forest secured European football for the first time in 29 years thanks to their seventh-place Premier League finish.
Meanwhile, Monaco, reinforced by Paul Pogba, finished third in Ligue 1 and are preparing for another Champions League campaign after a strong pre-season showing. Both clubs are actively preparing for their upcoming seasons with several friendly matches ahead.
Player Situation:
Morgan Gibbs-White missed Forest’s draw with Chesterfield due to rest after international duty but has since rejoined training alongside key players recovering from injuries. New signings Jesus and Cunha are still recuperating from recent tournaments.
Meanwhile, Neco Williams and Nicolas Dominguez remain sidelined. On Monaco’s side, Paul Pogba is unlikely to play soon as he continues his fitness recovery, with Ansu Fati also absent, though Eric Dier is expected to feature after recent game time.
Result Prediction:
Pre-season results are secondary as both managers focus on giving players game time, but Monaco’s strong attacking form suggests they’ll likely narrowly come out on top.
Predicted Result: Nottingham Forest 1-2 AS Monaco.
