There was a big moment of concern in the first half when Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo was carried off on a stretcher due to a standing ovation.

Danilo went up for a header and landed awkwardly after a collision with Smenyo. There were flags to shield the midfielder from view and the physios were brought on immediately.

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

Nottingham Forest started their season at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League, with both sides eager to get their league form up and running and start the new campaign on the right note.

Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth

When the two sides last met in Premier League action, they played out a 1-1 draw at Vitality Stadium in 2023/24. And the theme around draws doesn’t stop there - this will be the second time Bournemouth have faced Forest in their opening league match of a season, following a 0-0 draw at the City Ground in League One in 2007-08. Let’s hope for more goalmouth action in today’s league opener which may well come from the visitors, as Bournemouth have only failed to score in three of their last 30 Premier League games.

Bournemouth begin the new Premier League season with a clash against relegation candidates Nottingham Forest, who look to end a pretty rotten curse when it comes to facing Bournemouth. The visitors have gotten the better of Nottingham Forest of late, unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches (W5 D3 L0). Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, does carry a strong record in season openers though - he hasn’t lost on MD1 in any of his last 11 league campaigns (W7 D4), taking into account time in Portugal, Spain, England and Saudi Arabia.
