Forest Green prepare to entertain Ebbsfleet United at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was less than a year ago, in April 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a (Conference) Premier match.
