Preparation for the Portuguese season

With the new Liga Portugal season kicking off exclusively on beIN SPORTS in just over a week’s time on August 8th, Sporting CP are continuing their preparations with an international friendly against Nottingham Forest on Friday July 31st.

If preseason form is any indication of form going into the new campaign, then the Portuguese giants are looking imperious already with 13 goals scored in three victories against Celtic, Strasbourg and Monaco with just one goal conceded. Those results are a positive for a team that has had a big turnover of players in the transfer market over the summer.

Fundamental match

The match is also key for Nottingham Forest. The Premier League team are starting the season with Oliver Glasner in charge, after a turbulent past campaign which saw four different managers on the bench. Although Forest have lost their England World Cup star, Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, the team is set to be a stern test for Sporting CP just a week from the start of the Liga Portugal campaign exclusively on beIN SPORTS.
