Historical ties will come to the fore when Nottingham Forest face Valencia in their final winter friendly on Friday night.
The two clubs have a proud association with each other from past meetings. And it is set to be another memorable occasion when they play at the Mestalla Stadium (6.30pm kick-off UK time), in what is the Reds’ final run-out before the season resumes.
The friendly forms part of Valencia’s celebrations to mark the centenary of their home ground. Forest are set to wear a special all-red kit for the game, just as they did when they became the first European side to visit the Mestalla and compete in an official match, in the Fairs Cup in 1961.
