After a lengthy seven minutes of stoppage, while Danilo received treatment, the match was able to continue.

The home fans will be looking for more of the same from their Forest side, whilst the Cherries really need to control play in the middle of the park if they are to get back into this game. Live win probability favours Forest and has them at a 67.7 percent chance to win the contest, with Bournemouth’s chances at a win at just 10.6 percent. Let’s see who can get the first points of the season on board today…
Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth
We head into half-time at the City Ground with the home side 1-0 up after a real poacher’s goal from Chris Wood. Substitute Yates, who came on for Danilo after what looks like a potential season-ending injury for the Brazilian, took a shot on goal which was followed up well by his striker and expertly placed into the corner. Bournemouth have struggled to impact the game very much, despite an offside goal after a neat set-piece straight from the training ground, and have recorded just 0.72 xG in contrast to Forest’s xG of 0.93. Forest have also kept the ball the much better out of the two sides which is exemplified by their 58 percent possession in the first half.

Forest almost make it 2-0 before Bournemouth run up the other end to almost equalise! Hudson-Odoi plays a neat give and go and hits a low effort towards goal, with Neto diving down well to save. The ball is then cleared up towards Ouattara who faces Sels in the box but can’t get a clear shot on goal.

This time Tavernier’s freekick is overhit and goes straight out for a Forest goal kick. Bournemouth are running out of time to equalise before half-time…
