Match Preview
It has been an excellent season to this point for Nottingham Forest, but their outlook could yet get brighter. The Tricky Trees sit third in the Premier League standings, and they are just six points off the top of the standings. They come into this round of matches after winning four of their last five.
Bournemouth also bring some strong form to the table this weekend. The Cherries have avoided defeat in their last ten matches, and they could extend that club-record sequence on Saturday. The Cherries were excellent last weekend when claiming a dominant 4-1 win on the road at Newcastle.

The head-to-head record favors the home team this weekend, as Bournemouth have gone nine without defeat against Forest. In fact, the latest win for the Tricky Trees was recorded on home soil in the second tier in February 2015. Since that win, Forest have lost five of their last nine.
Meanwhile, Forest have also struggled on the road against Bournemouth. They have recorded just one win in their last ten away matches against the Cherries, with that success coming in the Championship in August 2014.
But, this is a high-quality Forest side this season. The East Midlands side have won more points over their last ten matches than any other sides, while Forest also boast the best defensive record over that period.
Bournemouth vs. Nottingham Forest Picks
There is little to separate these sides based on recent form, but the head-to-head record could make for vital reading. Draws have been played out in four of the last nine meetings, and that could be an angle worth following on Saturday.
