Nottingham Forest will be aiming for their first preseason victory when they face Championship club Birmingham City on Saturday.
Birmingham City will be looking to get a morale-boosting victory in their last pre-season game before turning their focus to the Championship tournament next weekend. The Blues had a decent preseason campaign where they registered three victories in their six outings. The hosts were thrashed 0-3 by League One club Northampton Town in their recent outing.
Nottingham Forest, on the other side, are aiming to break their winless streak with their first preseason victory. They have registered three goalless draws out of their four preseason matches so far and have ended up losing against Fulham.
The Tricky Trees had a phenomenal Premier League campaign last season, finishing 7th on the league table with 19 victories in their 38 matches.
