Our Predictions
Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last 5 at home and just dismantled Forest 5-0 in January. Their top scorer is in red-hot form, while Forest have only 1 win from 6. Odds of 1.80 back the home team, making this a strong pick.
Recent head-to-heads: 3 of last 5 have ended with two goals or less. Bournemouth have tightened defensively, while Forest rarely score more than once. 'Under 2.5 goals' is fairly priced at 1.73.
Forest have trouble scoring away, and Bournemouth kept clean sheets in recent matches. With Forest’s attack out of sorts, 'No' at 1.80 is logical if Bournemouth stay solid.
Welcome to Extratips: Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Match Preview!
Grab your seat for a thrilling Premier League clash! Bournemouth hosts Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium on October 26, 2025, kick-off 14:00. Bournemouth are flying high in 4th place with 14 points (4W-2D-1L), while Forest are fighting in 16th, sitting on just 5 points (1W-2D-3L). The Cherries have the league’s most in-form forward in Antoine Semenyo (6 goals, 3 assists) and are fresh from a 5-0 thumping of Forest earlier this year. In their last five meetings: Bournemouth have 2 wins, Forest none, and 3 games ended all square. At home, Bournemouth are strong – unbeaten in their last 5: 3W-2D. Away, Forest have just 1 win in 5. Bournemouth’s top strengths? Home confidence, a clinical striker, and recent clean sheets. Forest struggle for goals, leak at the back, but play bravely on the counter. No major injuries reported, but Forest’s shaky defence is a worry. Key storylines: Can Bournemouth cement their top-four charge? Will Forest fix their away blues? Or is another Semenyo show incoming? Expect Bournemouth to push for all three points with attacking football. Goals might come at a premium for Forest, but this match promises end-to-end action!
