Home
AFC Bournemouth
A steady mid-table team, Bournemouth defend well in front of their own fans at Vitality Stadium but can struggle to turn possession into chances.
Away
Nottingham Forest
A solid mid-table side. Forest are hard to break down on the road at Vitality Stadium, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.

Nottingham Forest visit Vitality Stadium to face AFC Bournemouth in the 2026/27 Premier League. Our goals model expects 1.70 goals from Bournemouth and 0.98 from Forest, which is where the 54% rating for Bournemouth comes from. Line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off. A missing key player can change this more than any other factor, so wait for them.
