History of the Altrincham v Forest Green Rovers fixture

Forest Green face a trip to Altrincham at Moss Lane on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. While the majority of previous matches have ended up drawn, a win has yet to be registered by Rovers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides

Altrincham losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. While Robins have scored 10, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Forest Green have an average recent record on the road, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 3 have been let in at the wrong end.

Altrincham are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 29 points from 35 matches. Forest Green lie just outside the playoff positions in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, picking up 55 from their 34 games so far.
