History of the Forest Green Rovers v Ebbsfleet United fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Ebbsfleet United at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 7 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in September 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.
