Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth bet builder tips

Bournemouth to win

Bournemouth head into the final weekend of the season knowing a Champions League place could still be within reach.

The Cherries were unfortunate not to beat Manchester City in their final home game of the season, only to concede a late equaliser against Pep Guardiola’s side.

Despite that frustration, Bournemouth’s unbeaten run now stretches to 17 matches, and our experts are backing them to make it 18 at the City Ground.

Forest, by contrast, already have safety secured and may lack the same urgency and intensity as a Bournemouth side with so much still on the line.

Given Bournemouth’s momentum and motivation, we’re tipping the visitors to claim all three points.

Eli Junior Kroupi to have 1+ shot on target

Eli Junior Kroupi continues to establish himself as one of Europe’s brightest young attacking talents.

The Bournemouth forward has scored five goals in his last seven matches, including a superb strike against Manchester City in midweek.

His form has reportedly attracted interest from clubs including Arsenal and Barcelona, and the youngster appears determined to continue his rapid rise.

Kroupi averages 0.7 shots on target per game this season, and against a Forest defence that has struggled recently, we’re backing him to test the goalkeeper at least once.

Morgan Gibbs-White to have 1+ shot on target

Morgan Gibbs-White has been one of Nottingham Forest’s standout performers in 2026 and should once again be heavily involved going forward.

The midfielder has scored 14 goals this season, including six in his last five matches across all competitions.

After missing out on England’s World Cup squad, Gibbs-White will likely be determined to prove a point heading into the summer.

He averages just under one shot on target per game this season, and with Forest still dangerous in attack despite their inconsistent form, we expect him to force the goalkeeper into action.

Both teams to score

Goals at both ends looks a strong play based on the recent form of both sides.

Four of Nottingham Forest’s last five Premier League matches have seen both teams score, with Forest conceding eight goals across their last three games in all competitions.

Bournemouth have also struggled to keep clean sheets recently, with only two of their last seven matches ending without them conceding.

The recent history between these sides also points towards goals, with 24 scored across the last seven meetings between Bournemouth and Forest, an average of 3.4 per game.

Both teams have found the net in five of those seven encounters, and we’re expecting more of the same this weekend.
