Team Analysis
High-flying Nottingham Forest will test their mettle against another in-form Premier League side in Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The two teams meet for the first time since the opening day of the season in August last year when they played out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

Bournemouth's lengthy injury list includes Evanilson (foot), Enes Unal (ACL), Alex Scott (knee), James Hill (hamstring), Marcos Senesi (thigh), Julian Araujo (thigh), Luis Sinisterra (thigh) and Adam Smith (muscle), while Julio Soler is away on international duty with Argentina at the South American Under-20 Championship. Marcus Tavernier (hamstring) has returned to training, though, and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.

As for Nottingham Forest, long-term absentee Ibrahima Sangare (hamstring) remains sidelined, while they are sweating over the fitness of winger Callum Hudson-Odoi who is nursing a groin problem and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.

Odds Analysis
The spirits are high in both camps ahead of Saturday's contest and they will back themselves to come away with maximum points having already pulled off some impressive scalps in the top flight this term. However, there is little to separate these two teams and we can see Nottingham Forest's robust backline frustrating Bournemouth in a closely-fought contest that may end all square.

Pick: Draw
