Premier League – Season Continues – Nottingham Forest v Bournemouth on Match-day 6

Premier League action on Saturday as Forest and Bournemouth meet at the City Ground – 3:00pm GMT.

It’s a trip to the City Ground for fifteenth placed Forest on Saturday, as they take on sixteenth placed Bournemouth.

Nottingham Forest face their opponents, equal on points, both teams will doubtless be keen to make progress

Forest will be keen to retain their winning form, having beaten Manchester City 6-0 in their last fixture.

Also, with an unfortunate Forest that has not managed to win in their last League so far, Steve Cooper’s men form is worryingly poor. Red dogs should solve their trend if they don’t want to occupy the lasts places in the League Table. With four points (1W, 3L and 1D), they are established in fifteenth position in the League having won one game, drawn one game, and lost three fixtures.

Playing at home, Forest have won one game and lost one game.

Victory for Nottingham Forest would take their points tally to 7 so far this season.

Forest are missing three players through injury or illness. This will affect Steve Cooper’s selection choices significantly.

Bournemouth face his opponents with equal points, with both keen to make progress

With the memory of their last match, doubtless on their minds, a (0-0) draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bournemouth will be keen to improve on that result in this game.

Also, Bournemouth need to find a way to generate wins on a consistent basis, as they’ve recorded three losses in their last four games. Now they have 1 matches won, 3 games lost and 1 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in sixteenth place, with a total of four points having won one game, drawn one game, and lost three matches.

Bournemouth have lost two matches of their two League matches away from home this season.

A win in this fixture, would take Bournemouth’s points from 4 to 7, so far this season.

Gary O’Neil will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of four of his Bournemouth players.
