History of the Forest Green Rovers v Burton Albion fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Burton Albion at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon,

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in October 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides

Forest Green Rovers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Burton Albion's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Brewers have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Forest Green are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide Conference with a return of just 7 points from their 16 games thus far. Burton Albion find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 17 points from their 16 matches.
