Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Prediction 04.02.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 04.02.2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth)

Since the end of last year, Bournemouth has emerged as one of the most pleasant surprises in the top European leagues. They finished 2023 with a strong performance, winning 6 out of 7 matches. Despite a mixed start to the new year, Bournemouth successfully managed to hold their position in the middle of the Premier League table and progress to the 1/8 finals of the FA Cup. A few days ago, they had an opportunity to defeat West Ham in London in the previous round, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Currently, the club is in 12th place with a total of 26 points.

Prior to the season, Nottingham Forest was viewed as a club likely to battle for survival, a prediction that remains accurate. The silver lining is that they are currently just above the line, with two more points than Everton. With Burnley and Sheffield almost out of the running, the decision on the third team to play in the Championship will likely be between Everton, Luton, Nottingham, and possibly Brentford. In the last round, Nottingham suffered a 2-1 loss to Arsenal, although they managed to narrow the lead towards the end and had an opportunity to tie the game.

Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Bournemouth conceded as many as 40 goals in 21 matches played this season, but the attack is much better than at the beginning of the season. Solanke reached 13 goals and now he is one of the few top scorers in the competition. This has become a team that plays a lot offensively, so you should not be surprised by some mistakes in defense. As for Nottingham, it is also a team with a very bad defense and they could easily concede a few goals in this match. In their previous head-to-head meeting in which Nottingham was the host, Bournemouth won 3-2. We expect goals from both side
