Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth Prediction

In their two meetings last season, Bournemouth won 5-0 at home, while both teams had a 1-1 draw in Nottingham. Bournemouth has 6 wins and 4 draws in its last 10 meetings against Forest and both teams to score – Yes is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings.

In this Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth Prediction, Bournemouth are coming as -120 home favorites. Bournemouth is rightfully favored, as they have three times more points than Forest, but they have three draws in their last four games. Forest has been terrible this season, with five losses in their last six Premier League games and had an extra mid-week game for the Europa League. Bournemouth also dominates Forest in their recent meetings and is better both offensively and defensively. I expect them to take care of business at home today, so take Bournemouth on the moneyline.
