History of the Forest Green Rovers v Stevenage Borough fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Stevenage Borough at The Lawn on Saturday morning, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 5 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in September 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides

Forest Green Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Rovers have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Stevenage's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Boro, and 6 goals against.

Forest Green are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 14 points from 14 matches. Stevenage's 20 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
