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 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in October 2004, with Scarborough inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Rovers in a Conference match.
