Forest Green prepare to entertain Stevenage Borough at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 7 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in February 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Conference match.

Forest Green Rovers will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. Rovers have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.
Stevenage B.'s away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Forest Green find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 41 games have yielded only 35 points. Stevenage B. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide Conference, picking up 69 from their 41 games so far.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Boro come away with an easy victory. Away win
