Forest Green prepare to entertain Northwich Victoria at The Lawn on Tuesday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 6 of the previous 8 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was less than a year ago, in November 2006, the Rovers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Conference match.
