Recent respective form guides

Stafford Rangers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Boro have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Stafford Rgrs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 6 points from their 13 games thus far. Forest Green lie just outside the playoff positions in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, picking up 21 from their 13 games so far.
