Eintracht Frankfurt will host Nottingham Forest at the Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday in a friendly clash between the two teams.
The home side had mixed results in the Bundesliga last season, particularly struggling for results in the second half of the season. They finished seventh in the league standings with 50 points from 34 games and made it to the DFB Pokal final which they lost 2-0 to RB Leipzig.
Saturday's game will mark Frankfurt's fifth and final pre-season game and they will now be looking to wrap things up on a positive note.
Trending
Nottingham Forest had their struggles in the league last season but managed to pick up enough points at the back end of the season to avoid the drop and will now play in the English top-flight in consecutive campaigns for the first time in almost three decades. They finished 16th in the Premier League standings last season with 38 points and will be targeting a higher points tally next season.
The visitors were thrashed 5-0 by Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennes in their last pre-season outing and will be looking to bounce back from that this weekend before they return to competitive action.
