Nottingham Forest looking for potentially vital points at Bournemouth
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest - 04/02/2024
3044
On Sunday afternoon, Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium in a game that could be vital for the visitor’s chances of moving away from the Premier League relegation zone.
The inconsistent Cherries
Bournemouth’s recent form has been inconsistent. However, a 1-1 draw at West Ham last time out means that they are winless in three league games.
However, that run is less concerning when considering that two of those three winless games were defeats against Tottenham and Liverpool.
The Cherries will feel quite comfortable in their current position, which is 12th place, eight points clear of the relegation zone.
A 4-0 home defeat by Liverpool in their last league outing at the Vitality Stadium ended a four-game unbeaten run on home soil in the Premier League for the Cherries.
They had also scored at least two goals in all four of their unbeaten home outings.
Forest in a difficult position in the table
The Tricky Trees could find themselves in a tricky position if results don’t improve in the near future, as the men from the Midlands are in 16th place in the Premier League table, just two points clear of the relegation zone.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team has suffered two straight league defeats against Brentford and Arsenal, conceding at least two goals in both encounters.
In fact, the visitors have now suffered defeat in four of their previous six matches in the English top-flight.
Forest have been poor travellers in the English top-flight of late, as they have won just once in their last eight Premier League games, suffering five defeats in the process.
They have also conceded at least two goals in all five of their recent away defeats in the English top-flight.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Bournemouth will return to winning ways on home soil by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
