Bournemouth take on the visitors Nottingham in the postponed round 33 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 3rd at Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth).
In this most important match for the fate of both teams, the two main contenders for the 2nd direct ticket to the English Premier League. Here we expect a cautious match, since the price of even one mistake here will be very high and can lead to fatal and irreversible consequences. Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest are clubs of approximately the same level and class, which should be accompanied by an equal positional football and, accordingly, reduced performance. By the way, this is exactly how the last duels of the Cherries with opponents from the top of the tournament rating - Fulham 1:1, Middlesbrough 0:0 and Sheffield United 0:0. Where, as we can see, the number of scored goals were small.

As for Nottingham, it is unlikely that they will force things on a very dangerous territory, which will certainly choose a wait-and-see tactic here, with a counterattack calculation. By the way, it was in a similar strategic way that Forest's recent away clashes with the sole leader Fulham 1:0, Peterborough United 1:0 and Luton Town 0:1. The audience did see the minimum number of dangerous moments and goals in those games.
Well, how prudent Nottingham Forest can dry their matches if necessary this season - you can try to find out from the purely attacking giants of the Premier League in the face of Arsenal 0:1 and Liverpool 1:0. And those who did not really manage to develop their own powerful offensive potential in the cup battles with tight-fisted “Robin Hoods”. I think that in this interesting confrontation, the goal bar will not stop at the under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
