History of the Stevenage Borough v Forest Green Rovers fixture

Forest Green face a trip to Stevenage Borough at Broadhall Way on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Half the previous contests have ended with a drawn game, but unfortunately the other half have ended in a defeat for the Rovers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a Conference match.
