Forest Green face a trip to Burton Albion at The Pirelli Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them being consigned to defeat by opponents in 4 of the 7 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a (Conference) Premier match.
