Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest History

Due to their recent spells in the Premier League, it would be easy to forget that much of Bournemouth’s lengthy history has seen them compete towards the lower ends of the English footballing pyramid. Indeed, when the South Coast side achieved a maiden promotion to the Premier League in 2015, it was the first time they had ever reached the top tier.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are something of a sleeping giant. It was during Brian Clough’s reign that the East Midlands side really hit its peak. Clough was appointed NFFC boss in 1975, and in the span of three years he had guided the club to the old First Division title. He then followed up this feat with an incredible back-to-back European Cup crowns as well as a number of domestic cup titles.

Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Head-to-Head

There haven’t been an abundance of clashes between these two sides, with fewer than 25 competitive meetings prior to the start of the 2024/25 campaign. The first time Bournemouth & Nottingham Forest shared a pitch was in 1949/50, with both teams playing in the old Third Division at the time.

More than half a century passed before the clubs faced one another in 2005, once again in the third tier of English football (now known as League One). The Cherries met Forest in the EFL Championship for two seasons from 2013-15, and again from 2020-22.

At long last Bournemouth & Nottingham Forest contested a Premier League fixture in 2022/23, with this particular match ending 1-1. The Vitality Stadium played host to another draw between these teams in February 2024; Justin Kluivert opened the scoring before Callum Hudson-Odoi levelled matters on the brink of half-time.
