What Forest streak is on the line?
If Forest are able to prevail against Bournemouth, they will record a fifth successive away league victory for the first time during that period.
That was last achieved in the First Division back in 1993-94, a season in which Forest were eventually promoted to the Premier League.
Frank Clark's team registered victories at West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland, Bristol City, Watford and Tranmere Rovers respectively.
You have to go all the way back to March 1989 since Forest last achieved such a feat in the top flight.
With regards to this season, their four-game winning streak on their travels has consisted of success over Manchester United, Brentford, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Although Forest have conceded 12 times in their 11 away league fixtures, clean sheets have been posted in their most recent three such encounters.
