Recent respective form guides

Forest Green Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 8, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Altrincham's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Robins have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Forest Green are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 16 points from their 17 games thus far. Altrincham find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 22 points from their 17 matches.
