6.10Tip and bets
The upcoming match will feature some of the best teams at the moment, given the current results. Bookmakers give a significant advantage to Bournemouth, but it is unlikely that Nottingham Forest is inferior in any way in terms of play. Moreover, the foresters are more reliable in defense than the upcoming opponent and do not have such serious losses in the squad as the hosts. In the two previous face-to-face matches, a draw was recorded, which we do not rule out today. Taking into account the bookmakers' odds, we recommend a betting tip for the guests not to lose.
Our prediction is Nottingham Forest not to lose at odds of 1.77
Bet on total
Nottingham Forest are a very closed and pragmatic team, which often puts defense first. Bournemouth are also capable of adapting to their opponents. In three of the last four head-to-head encounters, more than two goals were not scored, and we do not expect a very productive game today either.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.00
Betting on yellow cards
Bournemouth players have not received more than two yellow cards in their last eight home Premier League games. Given this trend, we recommend another betting option.
Prediction - Bournemouth total yellow cards under 2.5 with odds of 1.70
