Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. Their share of possession in that meeting was 33%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Tottenham Hotspur, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 15 times in that period. When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at The City Ground, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Bournemouth, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Bournemouth racked up a stunning 3-0 away win against Manchester United. They came away from that fixture with a 31% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Manchester United, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Their boss Andoni Iraola has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 9 goals conceded across those matches. When playing away from home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Dominic Solanke will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bournemouth.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In each of the previous 4 matches against The Cherries, Forest have let in at least one goal.
