Stats for this game

Matchup Bournemouth VS Nottingham Forest

Bournemouth have set the stronger markers

Bournemouth’s clearest statements came at home: a 5–0 win over Forest on 25 January 2025 and a 2–0 victory on 26 October 2025. Those results support a Bournemouth edge in the cited sequence, but the scores do not prove that one side controls every phase whenever the teams meet. Bournemouth also won 3–2 at Nottingham Forest on 23 December 2023, showing that the advantage can appear through a tight finish as well as a wider margin.

Forest can keep changing the question

Nottingham Forest have supplied resistance through several draws, including 1–1 at Bournemouth on 4 February 2024 and 1–1 at Wembley on 24 May 2026. That evidence gives the challenger a credible route: keep the contest close, protect key moments and make the home side earn separation. The clubs’ competitive settings can change, so the profile rests on dated meetings rather than permanent labels. A new encounter will ask whether Bournemouth turn their stronger reference into another win or Forest convert resilience into a result.
