Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest in a Premier League showdown on Saturday, January 25th, at 3pm (UK time).
Over 1.5 goals, Chris Wood anytime goalscorer and Draw (11/1 with Bet365)
Nottingham Forest have scored at least two goals in each of their last four Premier League away games. Only Mohamed Salah (11) and Alexander Isak (8) have scored more Premier League away goals than Chris Wood (7). Both of these sides are in great form, with Bournemouth unbeaten in their last 11 and Nottingham Forest going nine games without loss leading us to think this could be a stalemate.

How both teams go into Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest
Bournemouth struggled initially this season, managing only one win from their opening five games, which included back-to-back defeats. However, they have since recovered, although their performance has been inconsistent. After experiencing another stretch of consecutive losses, Andoni Iraola’s side managed to string together a three-game winning streak and is currently on an 11 game unbeaten run. This impressive performance has lifted them to seventh place in the Premier League table, putting them within reach of the Champions League spots.
On the other hand, Nottingham Forest currently finds themselves in third place but is denied second due to a lower goal difference. After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Forest has emerged as this year’s surprise package. Head coach Nuno Espírito Santo is keeping expectations in check. Despite the positive momentum, Forest’s form has been mixed; they are currently on a nine-game unbeaten streak.
Bournemouth team news
Evanilson, Marcos Senesi, and Julian Araujo remain long-term absentees for Bournemouth. However, they may welcome back Alex Scott for this game. Unfortunately, there is no return date for Enes Unal, who will undergo surgery to repair the knee ligament damage he recently sustained. The Bournemouth injury crisis continues, making their form all the more impressive.
Nottingham Forest team news
Ibrahim Sangare, currently recuperating from a thigh injury, is expected to be the sole confirmed Nottingham Forest player unavailable for this match. Callum Hudson-Odoi is unlikely to feature though, facing a late fitness test to determine his availability.
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest head-to-head
