• Bournemouth are 3rd after drawing 3-3 at Crystal Palace

• Nottingham Forest beat Porto 2-0 in Europe on Thursday

• Recommended bet: Antoine Semenyo to score any time

Bournemouth welcome Nottingham Forest to the Vitality Stadium with the visitors buzzing after kicking off the Sean Dyche era with a Europa League win over Porto on Thursday.

That 2-0 success over the Portuguese big-hitters ended a 10-game winless run for Forest but they will need more than a feelgood factor to get something out of high-flying Bournemouth who are enjoying a dream start to their season.

Team news

Evanilson and Enes Unal are unavailable though replacement striker Eli Junior Kroupi's double in last weekend's 3-3 draw at Palace suggests Bournemouth have nothing to worry about in that area.

David Brooks could be available after also missing the trip to Selhurst Park with a minor hamstring issue.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to miss out for Forest while Chris Wood is a doubt.

New boss Dyche could reintroduce Taiwo Awoniyi and Omari Hutchinson, who are not part of their club's Europa League squad so have had the week off.

The stats

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games (W4, D3) while Forest are winless in their last seven (D2, L5).

Forest have conceded seven goals and scored none from the 60-minute mark onwards in the league this season.

Only Erling Haaland (12) has been involved in more goals than Antoine Semenyo (9 - six goals, three assists).

In five away games in the league and Conference League, Forest have won only 16 corners (3.2 per game).

Prediction

It is hard to pinpoint whether Forest were excellent or Porto poor on Thursday night at the City Ground - the truth is probably somewhere between the two - but Dyche's men know they will probably have to up their game again to take anything from their trip to Bournemouth.

Dyche certainly got a tune out of his new charges, leading a chronically unsettled group to an impressive 2-0 debut triumph.

At the same time, of course, third-placed Bournemouth had their feet up having had a week to recover from their thrilling 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace, a game they should have won but could have lost.

That extra time is a big deal for the Cherries, who are on a seven-game unbeaten run and have taken 10 points out of a possible 12 from their home matches.

It would be out of character for Dyche to want to send out an Ange Postecoglou-style team and the game against Porto - where they were compact, pragmatic and had only eight shots - was classic Dyche and also classic Nuno Espirito Santo.

So they should play on the counter at the Vitality which will put the onus on the Cherries' game changers - and no one is changing games quite like Antoine Semenyo right now.

The Ghanaian star has six league goals so far, averages a team-high 2.4 shots per game and should be backed to find the net.
