At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (52% for the over).

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball at Vitality Stadium, but short of the creativity to dominate.
Away
Nottingham Forest
Forest are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball on their trip to Vitality Stadium, but short of the creativity to dominate.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Bournemouth name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Forest score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.

We project 1.64 expected goals for Bournemouth and 1.10 for Forest; run that through thousands of simulated matches and Bournemouth win 50% of them.

Calendar check: Bournemouth and Forest
Recovery time and the next fixture for both clubs, from the published Premier League schedule.
Bournemouth play 13 days after their game away at Ipswich on 08 Nov, with an international break in between, so rhythm could be rusty. After this, they go away at Fulham 8 days after this one. League game 11 of 38.
Forest play 14 days after their game at home to Man City on 07 Nov, with an international break in between, so rhythm could be rusty. After this, they go at home to Chelsea 6 days after this one. League game 11 of 38.
They meet again at City Ground on Sat, 23 Jan 2027, so this is the first of two league meetings.
