Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth: Premier League Match Preview

Match at City Ground, Nottingham, on 24 May 2026 in the Premier League Regular Season - 38, with Nottingham Forest fighting from 16th place against 6th-placed Bournemouth.

Nottingham Forest face significant defensive and attacking absences. W. Boly (Knee Injury) is sidelined. C. Hudson-Odoi (Injury) is sidelined. Murillo (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. N. Savona (Knee Injury) is sidelined. In addition, O. Aina (Injury) is doubtful, while D. Ndoye (Injury) is doubtful. Key creator M. Gibbs-White, Forest’s leading scorer with 14 league goals and 4 assists, is available and will be central to their attacking plans.

Bournemouth’s issues are more disciplinary than medical. R. Christie (Red Card) is sidelined. Álex Jiménez (Suspended) is sidelined. J. Soler (Hamstring Injury) is doubtful. Their attacking spearheads remain intact, with E. Kroupi available after scoring 13 league goals, and A. Semenyo also available with 10 goals and 3 assists, underpinning a side that has produced 57 league goals.

Impact-wise, Forest lose depth and stability at the back and on the flanks, potentially exposing a defence that has already conceded 50 goals, while Bournemouth’s main creative and scoring threats are preserved despite midfield suspensions.
