Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
Bournemouth are having an exciting season and facing sides in the top spots has not been an issue. It all started with a 2-0 win against Arsenal in October.
After that, The Cherries have only suffered two defeats in the 14 league matches that followed. Andoni Iraola’s side was disappointed to concede late in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea.
They, however, left no room for the same in their latest game, as they thrashed Newcastle United 4-1. After the impressive back-to-back away results, they return for two straight home matches against sides in the top three.
They won’t have to look too far for motivation.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in 10 league matches.
Nottingham Forest survived a late scare in their last match to post a 3-2 wijn against Southampton. This time the challenge will be stiffer but the visitors have shown they can handle pressure.
Nuno Espirito Santo has not only steadied the team but also turned them into serious contenders for Europe. Heading into this game, Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last nine matches, eight of them being wins.
The only time they failed to win in that space was against Liverpool, a 1-1 draw. With this kind of form, Nottingham will be confident of halting their nine-match winless run against Bournemouth.
In the first leg meeting, they conceded late to see the game end 1-1.

Bournemouth & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
There’s an interesting twist to this game, with both sides carrying big threats in attack.
At Bournemouth, Justin Kluivert will be inspired after netting a second hat trick of the season in their last match. He is a good pick for the player to score anytime.
Bournemouth will need that form to show, as they are currently dealing with a heavy list of injuries.
Marcus Tavernier, Marcos Senesi, Luis Sinisterra, Julian Araujo, Evanilson, Enes Unal, Alex Scott and Adam Smith are all unavailable for the Cherries.
Forest’s Chris Wood has 14 league goals, four more than Bournemouth’s Kluivert.
Nottingham Forest also have their injury concerns. Before they even think of those, a lot of effort will be placed on ensuring Chris Wood is good for this match.
The forward has 14 league goals and will be the main goal threat for the Londoners. He scored against Southampton in the last game and will be a favorite to do the same here too.
While Wood is a sure starter, another forward in Callum-Hudson Odoi is listed doubtful for the match after being forced off against Southampton. Ibrahim Sangare is a definite absentee.
