Nottingham F. vs Bournemouth Prediction

Nottingham Forest come up against visiting side Bournemouth in a Premier League fixture this coming Saturday at City Ground, Nottingham. Having never shared a season in the Premier League in recent past, this is the first time Nottingham Forest comes up against Bournemouth in this context.

Nottingham Forest are number 15 in the table on four points after five matches. Bournemouth rank as number 16 with four points after five matches played.

As both Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are longing to end their current win-less run in the Premier League this coming Saturday, there might be an exciting game ahead.

Nottingham Forest scored two times in the last five outings for an average of 0.4 goals a game. They conceded 11 and managed one clean sheets.

Bournemouth travel to their next Premier League match, averaging a lowly one goal per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of ten goals, while also conceding 22 goals. That amounts to an average of 2.2 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth Prediction

Nottingham Forest managed one win in the last three matches, which was a 0-3 victory against Grimsby. They went on to lose 0-2 against Tottenham, before getting dumped in a 6-0 defeat against Manchester City. Nottingham Forest only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at City Ground, Nottingham in the Premier League. They also drew zero and lost one of these six encounters, in which they scored one and conceded two goals.

As they hover around the relegation-places Nottingham Forest seem on par with expectations of a tough season.

Bournemouth have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Norwich, they gained a point in a 2-2 draw, before coming up short against Liverpool, who ran out 9-0 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 0-0 with Wolverhampton. Bournemouth managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring 22 time and letting in six.

As they hover around the relegation-places Bournemouth seem on par with expectations of a tough season.

Nottingham Forest find it tough these days to get a goal in, but Bournemouth are equally lacklustre in front of goal currently, and going with under 2.5 goals in the betting market is the obvious choice.
