Bournemouth are unbeaten in nine meetings with Nottingham Forest, dating back a decade, with Forest winning only one of ten visits to Dean Court since 1949.

Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Few would've predicted when these two drew 1-1 on the opening day of this season that, 22 games into the campaign, both would occupy European positions, so who's unbeaten streak will continue? Nottingham Forest supporters are dreaming of Champions League qualification, considering their side are currently third, a mere six points adrift leaders Liverpool. Last Sunday, the Garibaldi Reds raced into a 3-0 lead at home to Southampton, Elliot Anderson, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood all scoring, only for the Saints to pull two back late on, setting up a nervy finish, but ultimately in vain. As a result, Nuno Espírito Santo's side are now unbeaten in eight Premier League matches, winning seven of them, going in search of a fifth successive away win when they venture to the South Coast on Saturday.

Bournemouth meantime are just seven points worse off than their visitors, claiming their most noteworthy win of the season so far a week ago, hammering the Premier League's form side Newcastle at St James' Park. Justin Kluivert bagged a hat-trick on Tyneside, before Miloš Kerkez lashed home late on to rubber stamp victory. Andoni Iraola's team are therefore unbeaten in ten Premier League games, the Cherries' previous club-record was seven, with those in Dorset dreaming of witnessing European football for the very first time. Next, Bournemouth will also welcome Liverpool to Dean Court in a week's time, so this double-header will be a stern examination of their European credentials.

Bournemouth Team News

Bournemouth's unbeaten streak if made all the more impressive by the fact they're enduring an injury crisis. Julián Araujo, Adam Smith, James, Hill, Marcos Senesi, Alex Scott, Marcus Tavernier, Luis Sinisterra, Evanilson and Enes Ünal are all sidelined, while Julio Soler is currently at the South American U20 Championship, hence why five of their substitutes at Newcastle have never played for the first-team. With four right-backs unavailable, Lewis Cook will continue to deputise out of position while, with both centre-forwards sidelined long-term, Dango Ouattara will continue to nominally lead the line.

Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest: (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Christie, Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara.

Bournemouth Player to Watch vs Nottingham Forest

Justin Kluivert bagged his second hat-trick of the season a week ago, taking his tally to 11 for the campaign, so can he score in a third successive match?

Callum Hudson-Odoi is a doubt, having hobbled off during the first half against Southampton so, if he's not available, Jota Silva will come in out-wide. That aside, Nuno Espírito Santo is expected to name an unchanged lineup, with Nicolás Domínguez and Elliot Anderson chosen over Ryan Yates at the base of midfield. Danilo, who featured in the FA Cup a fortnight ago, is now hoping to see Premier League action for the first time since suffering a broken ankle against Bournemouth on the opening day of the season.

Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Bournemouth: (4-3-3): Sels; Aina, Milenković, Murillo, Williams; Domínguez, Anderson, Gibbs-White; Elanga, Jota Silva, Wood.

Nottingham Forest Player to Watch vs Bournemouth

Chris Wood has 14 goals to his name this season, while the New Zealander has bagged five in nine Premier League outings against Bournemouth, most-recently on target in the reverse fixture in August.

Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

We're firmly sitting on the fence for this one and forecasting a score draw that'll continue the unbeaten streaks both sides are currently enjoying: Bournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest.
