History of the Forest Green Rovers v Histon fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Histon at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the Rovers have won one and drawn one.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in February 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a (Conference) Premier match.
