Forest Green prepare to entertain Morecambe at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 8 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was less than a year ago, in October 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Conference match.

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 Shrimps come away with an easy victory. Away win
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Forest Green | Failed to win in previous 4 home matches. Latest 2 games ended in defeat. Not won in the 3 most recent games. |
