Recent respective form guides

Grays Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Blues have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.

Forest Green's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. The Rovers's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Grays Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 43 games have yielded only 23 points. Forest Green are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 45 points from 43 matches.
