Recent respective form guides
Forest Green Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Rushden & D.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Diamonds, and 7 goals against.
Forest Green are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 13 points from their 22 games thus far. Rushden & D. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, picking up 36 from their 22 games so far.
