Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth drew 1-1 at The City Ground in a Premier League match that saw both sides find the net. Our model backed a Forest win at 38 percent probability, a pick that did not land. The result extended Forest's recent struggles; they have managed just one draw in their last five outings.

The draw left Nottingham Forest in 16th on 1 point from this fixture, deepening their relegation battle.
