Forest Green prepare to entertain Scarborough at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 5 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was less than a year ago, in February 2004, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides
Forest Green Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 8, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.
Scarborough's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Seadogs have hit 7 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Forest Green find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 10 games have yielded only 1 points. Scarborough's 13 points from 10 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
