Match preview
Bournemouth are enjoying a phenomenal season. Andoni Iraola’s side is showcasing vibrant football and seriously competing for a historic spot in European competitions. After 22 rounds, the Cherries sit seventh in the table, just three points behind the top four.
At the start of the season, Bournemouth’s performances were unremarkable, but they have been a revelation in recent months. In the previous round, the Cherries were considered underdogs in an away match against Newcastle but managed to stun their opponents with a 4-1 victory, highlighted by Justin Kluivert’s hat-trick. Before that, Bournemouth drew 2-2 with Chelsea, secured a 1-0 win over Everton, and drew 2-2 with Fulham.
Nottingham Forest are the biggest surprise of the season across Europe’s top leagues. After fighting relegation last season, Forest are now in the top four and genuinely competing for a Champions League spot. With the possibility of five English teams qualifying for the Champions League next season, Forest’s chances look even stronger.
Even a defeat against Bournemouth would not drop Forest out of third place, as they currently hold a four-point lead over Chelsea. In the last round, Nuno Espírito Santo’s team defeated Southampton 3-2 and drew 1-1 with Liverpool, ending the Reds’ six-match winning streak. These are incredible achievements for such an unassuming club.
Probable lineups
- Bournemouth: Kepa; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Adams; Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara
- Nottingham Forest: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
