Forest Green Rovers form and stats

Disaster struck Forest Green Rovers last season as they could not defend their status as a League One team. With 31 defeats from 46 games, and only 6 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Forest Green Rovers are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W5 D2 L16.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Forest Green Rovers as they have a new game in only three days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. Portsmouth are visiting.

Forest Green Rovers have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and four practice matches played. These training games have ended with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
