Bournemouth are flying high in the Premier League, with manager Andoni Iraola guiding them through a remarkable ten-match unbeaten run.
Their 4-1 triumph over Newcastle last weekend showcased their growing confidence and attacking prowess. Now pushing for European qualification, Bournemouth’s impressive form sees them among the league’s elite, with only Liverpool and Arsenal enjoying longer unbeaten streaks.
Their opponents, Nottingham Forest, will be no easy task. Bournemouth, however, boast an excellent recent record against Forest, remaining unbeaten in head-to-head clashes since February 2015. Even more impressively, they haven’t lost a home meeting against Forest since 2014. This season’s home performances follow a similar trend, with Bournemouth unbeaten in four home league matches, though they’ve been tight affairs, averaging just one goal per game in that stretch.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are enjoying a stellar season themselves. With just nine goals conceded across their last ten matches, their defensive solidity has underpinned an impressive haul of 25 points during that period—more than any other Premier League side. Now sitting in third place, Forest fans are daring to dream of a return to European competition for the first time since 1995/96.
Despite their impressive position, Forest’s away form will face a stern test at the Vitality Stadium. They’ve won four consecutive away league games, and another victory would mark their first run of five straight away wins in the top flight since the 1988/89 season. Interestingly, that campaign also ended with Forest finishing third, behind Arsenal and Liverpool—a position they may well emulate this season if their form continues.
For Bournemouth, Justin Kluivert has been a standout performer. The forward netted his second hat-trick of the season in the emphatic victory over Newcastle, becoming just the fourth Bournemouth player to score ten Premier League goals in a single campaign. However, the Vitality Stadium faithful are still waiting for more fireworks at home, with only one of Kluivert’s ten goals coming on home turf.
Forest will look to Chris Wood, whose recent form has been exceptional. The striker has found the net in each of Forest’s last four league matches, with all his goals coming before the half-time whistle. His early contributions have been crucial in setting the tone for Forest’s success this season, and Bournemouth will need to be wary of his threat from the first whistle.
Another key factor in this fixture could be Forest’s defensive resilience. They have conceded just eight goals before half-time in the league this season, the fewest of any team. This defensive discipline could frustrate Bournemouth’s attack, particularly in a fixture that promises to be tightly contested.
With both sides enjoying impressive campaigns, this clash at the Vitality Stadium has all the makings of a fascinating encounter. Bournemouth’s unbeaten streak will be tested against a Forest side with momentum and a strong away record. The stakes are high for both teams, as they aim to keep their European aspirations alive in what promises to be a pivotal match in their seasons.
