Add as preferred source on Google

The final day of the Premier League season takes place on Sunday afternoon.

Nottingham Forest play host to Bournemouth at the City Ground, so it won’t be an easy game as the visitors have qualified for Europe this term.

However, Vitor Pereira’s side have good reason to be confident, as they’ve won three out of their last five games.

In fact, since Pereira took over in February, Forest have been the seventh-best team in the division, only a point behind Liverpool.

What is your prediction for Saturday’s final game of the season vs Bournemouth?🤔

We've not beaten Bournemouth since 2015!😮

Supercomputer makes Nottingham Forest big underdogs vs Bournemouth

According to the supercomputer, Forest are actually deemed massive underdogs on their own patch this weekend.

The software has only given them a 29.4% chance of securing three points, which seems staggeringly low.

Bournemouth are 46.6% likely to pick up an away victory, whilst a draw has been given a 14% chance of materialising.

Recent meetings between the two teams do back up that sentiment, as Forest are winless in their last five against Bournemouth.

In fact, the last time Forest beat the Cherries was when they were in the Championship, securing a 2-1 win in February 2015.

So, Pereira’s side will have to break an 11-year trend to end the season on a high.
