Forest Green prepare to entertain Morecambe 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 less than a year ago, in November 2003, with Morecambe inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Rovers in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides
Forest Green Rovers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.
Morecambe's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Shrimps have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Forest Green find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 4 points. Morecambe's 20 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
