Forest Green Rovers form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Forest Green Rovers so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 1-7-11 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Rovers have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 18 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Forest Green Rovers are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the game against Sheffield Wednesday (placed 2nd). That win was so needed for this club, after a horrific sequence of 16 league matches in a row not winning. Bernard, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.63. Bernard served one assist, hit one key pass and won 2 of 6 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Plymouth Argyle wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 19 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Forest Green Rovers, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
