Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Odds & Match Preview

See the latest EPL odds, picks, and predictions for Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest ahead of their matchup on October 26.
  • Bournemouth is predicted to be a -0.5-goal home favorite against Nottingham Forest.
  • Nottingham has conceded at least one goal in each of its last 16 EPL matches.
  • My Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest prediction is the Bournemouth Moneyline (-145).

Bournemouth goes for a second straight win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday at Vitality Stadium.ย 

Andoni Iraolaโ€™s side jumped out to a 2-0 lead at Crystal Palace on Matchday 8. Ultimately, a weak second half resigned the Cherries to a point in a 3-3 draw.ย 

Nottingham Forest fell 3-0 at home against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon. The loss prompted the sacking of head coach Ange Postecoglou, who leaves Forest in the relegation zone.ย

Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth: Prediction

Based on Bournemouthโ€™s rest edge and its dominance in the last head-to-head meeting, my Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest prediction is the Bournemouth Moneyline (-145).ย 

Bournemouth blitzed Forest 5-0 in the last head-to-head meeting. The win came with no match oddities โ€“ penalties, red cards, etc. โ€“ as the Cherries created four post-shot expected goals.ย 

Now they get Forest in a horrible spot. Managerial uncertainty at Forest leaves the team without much viability in the betting market, especially on short rest.ย 

Forest plays a Thursday night Europa League match at home against Porto. Then the team travels on short rest to play Bournemouth, which has eight days between games.ย 

If that werenโ€™t enough, Forest plays a team overwhelmingly better this season.ย 

Even if you exclude Forestโ€™s performance against Chelsea, their metrics are bad. Prior to Matchday 8, Forest recorded a -0.84 xGDiff per 90 minutes.ย 

Bournemouth, meanwhile, sat on a +0.29 xGDiff per 90 minutes. At home, that figure rises to +0.55 xGDiff per 90 minutes.ย 

Iraolaโ€™s side began the season 3-1-0 (W-D-L) at Vitality Stadium. Although the team ran a tad lucky against Fulham, Bournemouth bettered a +0.5 xGDiff against both Wolves and Brighton.ย 

Forest has also struggled away from home. Against sides closest to Bournemouth in quality โ€“ Arsenal and Newcastle โ€“ Forest fell by a combined 5-0 margin while allowing five xG.ย 

Otherwise, the team drew at Palace, which played on short rest, and Burnley, a relegation candidate.ย 

Accordingly, I predict Bournemouth will take all three points against a reeling Forest side.ย
