Forest Green Rovers form and stats
With 1 League Two win, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Forest Green Rovers, who have the fewest points (3) at home in League Two, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Rovers's previous game was also played at home, ending 5-0 versus Colchester United (placed 23rd). The home side are looking to build on that result. A big relief, as that was the first league victory after going winless in six fixtures in a row. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Forest Green Rovers played a great game against Colchester United and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Midfielder Bunker was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.73 (out of ten) in that game. Bunker served one assist, hit two key passes and had 81 successful passes (of 93 total).
In the match before, 1-1 away to Walsall (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) (EFL Trophy). This is expected to be a close game, with Forest Green Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Forest Green Rovers as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Forest Green Rovers has won 5 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Forest Green Rovers as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Crawley Town are visiting.
