THE LOWDOWN
BOURNEMOUTH
- A sixth consecutive defeat for Bournemouth last Saturday away at Brentford means they are still yet to pick up a single point since the World Cup, ramping up the pressure on boss Gary O’Neill.
- Striker Dominic Solanke and midfielder Lewis Cook are the latest editions to the Bournemouth treatment table and Solanke’s absence in particular will be felt as it leaves the Cherries very light up top.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- Nottingham Forest’s resurgence continued with victory over Leicester, meaning Steve Cooper’s side have now picked up seven points from the last nine available to them.
- Their recent form has been despite a large number of injuries and goalkeeper Dean Henderson is the latest big name sidelined, with Wayne Hennessey expected to deputise in net.

THE PREDICTION
Two teams in total contrasting veins of form collide at the Vitality Stadium. Nottingham Forest know they have a golden opportunity to accrue another three points, but the significance of being without one of their players of the season in goalkeeper Henderson cannot be denied. This could easily have an adverse effect on their defenders and Bournemouth may end up capitalising, making it harder for Forest to gain victory. For that reason, the smart play is to utilise the double chance market and back the visitors to win or draw.
TIP: DOUBLE CHANCE – NOTTINGHAM FOREST OR DRAW
