Bournemouth – Nottingham Forest, Picks and Tips
Two games remain for Bournemouth, including Tuesday night's game against Nottingham Forest. In the event of a win, Bournemouth knock Nottingham out and are as good as back in the Premier League. Last time out, Bournemouth won 3-0 away to Blackburn. Solanke opened the scoring in the 21st minute before Billing scored twice in the second half. Dominic Solanke, a 24-year-old English striker, is Bournemouth's top scorer. He has 29 goals and seven assists and is second in the goalscoring charts, well behind Mitrovic, who has 41. It was three important points picked up by Bournemouth after that 3-3 away win at Swansea. A draw achieved in the final quarter of an hour, after Bournemouth were 0-3 down near the 75th minute. "Moore's 'double' and Solanke's strike from the spot made the game end indecisively. Three games ago Bournemouth drew at home to Fulham. Solanke scored the equaliser in the eighth minute of extra time from the spot. Solanke has five goals in his last four games for Bournemouth and looks set to be the main threat to Nottingham Forest's goal.
Two-time European Champions Cup holders Nottingham Forest are close to a historic return to the Premier League. It was the 1998 - 1999 season when the 'Foresters' last played in the English top flight, relegating from last place. More than 20 years have passed since that moment for the team that, in the 1977 - 1978 season, also won the English championship. Nottingham Forest won two rounds ago at newly promoted Fulham. "The 'Foresters' won 1-0 thanks to Zinckernagel's goal after a quarter of an hour. In the last round, Nottingham took on Swansea, the team Bournemouth drew with. The score of the match was 5-1 for the 'Rangers', who totally dominated the match. The scoreline was deflated by an own goal. But Swansea equalised shortly afterwards, and that was the only time the winner was in doubt. A second-half header shortly after returning from the dressing room, then a counter-attack finished at the crease, each time by Surridge, made it 3-1. The same Surridge drove the knife even deeper into Swansea's wound to increase the lead to 4-1, and then Mighten scored Nottingham Forest's final goal. "The Forest have no draws in their last 12 Championship games. They go to Bournemouth on the back of four consecutive wins and have one thing on their minds - victory, the only thing that can bring Nottingham Forest closer to a historic return to the Premier League after more than 20 years. Nottingham Forest have won seven and lost one of their last eight games.
