Our prediction for the match Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest
“The Cherries” had received Andoni Iraola as a coach before the start of the previous season. Initially experiencing difficulties with adaptation in the Foggy Albion, the Basque specialist eventually got 48 points with his footballers, taking a comfortable 12th place. “The Foresters”, who replaced Cooper a year ago (the mentor brought them and kept them in the Premier League) for Nuno Espirito Santo, were eventually able to finish with him in the “saving” 17th position, despite a penalty of 4 points.
Still, the Portuguese specialist and his players are truly surprising now. The club is showing its best results in decades, having already taken significantly more points than in the entire previous season and staying in the group of leaders. They almost beat Liverpool again – the team had been leading for a considerable part of the match. Then, as expected, albeit minimally, 3-2, the club beat Southampton. Iraola’s footballers continue to progress, although the management sold their main scorer, Solanke, in the summer. And there were no defeats at all in the winter – as a result, they were increasingly gaining a foothold among the contenders for the European competition. And the higher mentioned ambitions were confirmed by defeating Newcastle – 4-1.
The hosts manage to score 1.64 goals per round, although they concede a relatively large number, almost 1.2 goals per game. The guests, mainly due to Wood, “send” an average of 1.4 goals per meeting, and Sels’ opponents cannot score even one in response (0.95 goals conceded).
