AFC Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 01/25/25

We’ve got a hot clash between 2 unlikely Champions League contenders here as Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest. The Tricky Trees’ success this season has been built on playing on the counter-attack with Nuno Espirito Santo often setting his team up to sit deep away from home. The Reds have won 7 and lost only 2 of their EPL road games and make the trip to Bournemouth off the back of 4 straight wins away from the City Ground. Nuno’s team has been able to shut out their opponents once they have gone in front, having kept 3 clean sheets in a row on the road, but on the occasions that they have conceded first the games have been hard to recover. One of the few occasions when they were not able to convert a lead into 3 points was when they faced Bournemouth at home back in August, with Andoni Iraola’s team scoring a late equalizer through Antoine Semenyo.

The Cherries have been on fire lately and boast an unbeaten 10-game run of 6 wins and 4 ties, which has taken them to within 3 points of 4th place. Bournemouth’s 4-1 win over Newcastle last weekend was their best all-round performance of the season and arguably one of the best away displays of any Premier League side in 2024-25. The Cherries annihilated a Newcastle team that had won 9 games in a row on that day and should be fearless here against Forest.
