7401

We have a full round of fixtures to enjoy in the Premier League on the weekend including the meeting between AFC Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

The match will be played at the Vitality Stadium on the 21st of January and the hosts begin the weekend in 17th place on 16 points while the visitors are in 13th place on 20 points.

AFC Bournemouth come into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Brentford in the Premier League last weekend. The Cherries conceded a goal from the penalty spot 6 minutes before half time and another in the 75th minute to lose the game.

That result means AFC Bournemouth have lost each of their last 6 fixtures in all competitions. There have been defeats at Chelsea, Manchester United, and Brentford in the Premier League plus at home to Crystal Palace in the league and Burnley in the FA Cup.

AFC Bournemouth were also eliminated from the League Cup, losing 1-0 at Newcastle United.

Trends show AFC Bournemouth have won just 1 of their last 10 Premier League games, with the victory coming over Everton at home.

Form at home in the Premier League shows AFC Bournemouth are undefeated in 4 of their last 7 league matches, beating Leicester City and Everton plus picking up a point against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford.

Both teams have scored in only 2 of AFC Bournemouth’s 10 most recent home league fixtures.

Nottingham Forest travel to the Vitality Stadium having beat Leicester City 2-0 at home in the Premier League last weekend. Nottingham Forest opened the scoring 11 minutes into the second half and added a second goal in the 85th minute to take maximum points.

Trends show Nottingham Forest are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions.

There have been wins over Southampton away and Leicester City at home in the Premier League plus Wolverhampton Wanderers at home via penalties in the League Cup. Nottingham Forest also held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at home in the Premier League.

Away form in the Premier League has been poor and Nottingham Forest have recorded just a single win from their 9 most recent away league matches. They have lost 6 of those 9 games and have failed to score a goal in 6 of their last 7 matches on the road.

Looking ahead to the team news and AFC Bournemouth are without the injured duo of Junior Stanislas and Ryan Fredericks. They also have doubts over the fitness of Marcus Tavernier and David Brooks.

Nottingham Forest travel without Jesse Lingard, Cheikhou Kouyate, and Moussa Niakhate who are injured. There are doubts over the fitness of Willy Boly, Taiwo Awoniyi, and Omar Richards.

Nottingham Forest are in decent form but they have found away games tough in the Premier League. That is something AFC Bournemouth will be hoping to take use to their advantage and the hosts could come out on top, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
