Forest Green Rovers form and stats
2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Forest Green Rovers playing as the away team in the League Two this season. With the Forest Green Rovers losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Forest Green Rovers might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Morecambe proved too strong as Forest Green Rovers slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at The New Lawn. Rovers goalkeeper Belshaw took pride in a magnificent day's work versus Morecambe, but in spite of registering nine saves the loss could not be evaded.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Notts County wasn't a success with a 3-4 loss.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Accrington Stanley.
