Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Betting Tips | January 21st 2023

Bournemouth will host Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening in another round of the English Premier League campaign.

The home side have largely struggled to adapt to the demands of top-flight football and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 2-0 by Brentford in their last game and could have no complaints after struggling to create any noteworthy chances to alter the result.

Bournemouth sit 17th in the league table with just 16 points from 19 games. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, endured a sluggish start to their campaign but have begun picking up points as they look to retain their top-flight status. They beat struggling Leicester City 2-0 in their last game, with Brennan Johnson scoring twice in the second half to seal a deserved win for the Reds.

The visitors sit 13th in the league standings, with 20 points from 19 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Saturday.
