Nottingham Forest will aim to bounce back from a narrow 3-2 defeat to Manchester United when they host Bournemouth on the final day of the Premier League season at the City Ground. As both sides should be happy with one point from Sunday's match, we predict a 2-2 draw. Having already secured survival, Forest enter this fixture with little pressure but will still want to finish strongly in front of their home fans. The Reds have been competitive recently, winning five of their last ten matches and averaging 1.9 goals per game in that period, although injuries to Ola Aina, Willy Boly, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Murillo weaken their depth.
Bournemouth travel to Nottingham in strong form, unbeaten in their last seven league matches and still pushing for European qualification. Andoni Iraola’s side have been particularly impressive defensively, conceding just 0.7 goals per game over their last ten outings and keeping five clean sheets in that run. Ryan Christie returns from suspension, adding creativity in midfield. Head-to-head history slightly favours Bournemouth, who have won eight of the previous 15 meetings between the sides. However, 67% of those encounters have seen both teams score, highlighting the attacking nature of this matchup.
Forest score regularly at home, while Bournemouth are dangerous on the break. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 9.5 corners.
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 24 May 2026 at 16:00.
