History of the Forest Green Rovers v Scarborough fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Scarborough at The Lawn on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Half of the previous meetings have ended in defeat for Rovers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in October 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a Conference match.
