History of the Forest Green Rovers v Burton Albion fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Burton Albion at The Lawn on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rovers are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was less than a year ago, in December 2005, the Rovers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory 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 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Burton Albion's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Brewers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.

Forest Green find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 9 points. Burton Albion's total of 25 points from their 14 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide Conference.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Brewers come away with an easy victory. Away win

Forest Green Not won in the 2 most recent games.
