Forest Green Rovers form and stats

Overall League Two stats at home this season for Forest Green Rovers are 9-6-5 (wins-draw-losses).

A nice win for Forest Green Rovers last time playing, versus Scunthorpe United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Christopher Stokes, Jordan Moore-Taylor and Ebou Adams scoring for the victors. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Walsall.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Forest as they are travelling to their away game against Crawley Town in the League Two. That match is four days after this one.

The Forest fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 29 in 20 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Forest have conceded 24 in these home matches.
