Things are looking very grim for Forest Green as they are now the ones rooted to the foot of the table. There doesn’t seem to be a way out of the mess that they find themselves in either because they are not scoring and they can’t stop conceding. Accrington are sat in the top three and will be expecting to take a win in this one. They have won four of their last six games and have produced more than enough goals this season to suggest that they can get the points in this one. Forest Green are a poor 11/4 option on home soil to win this with Accrington going at odds on at 19/20 with Ladbrokes.

Forest Green
AccringtonForest Green Form:
The form of Forest Green is no form. They have taken one point only from their last seven league games now and are stuck at the bottom of the league. They have failed to score in three of their last four games and they haven’t found any comfort at home lately either. They are on a three-match losing streak on home soil in the league, having failed to score in their last two home fixtures. Things are looking really tough for them at the moment and with 25 goals conceded in ten league games, they are just there for the taking.
Accrington Form:
Accrington are the joint-top scorers in the division this season alongside leaders Notts County with twenty goals. So it’s easy to assume that they will convert against Forest Green on the weekend. They have only suffered the two defeats this season and just one in their last eight so are in great form. They have put together a fantastic three-match winning streak away from home as well, each of the three wins in that sequence coming through a 2-1 scoreline. While they have only taken one clean sheet this season, it doesn’t seem to matter because they have scoring power.
Head to Head News:
There isn’t much head to head between these two with just the six previous games played. Things are even with two wins each and two drawn matches from those fixtures. This will be the first meeting between them since a 2006 Conference clash which ended 1-1 at Forest Green. Accrington are actually D1 L2 in their three previous visits to Forest Green.
Top Betting Tips:
Accrington are likely to get their first ever win at Forest Green on the weekend. They are scoring well and Forest Green are starting to look out of their depth. Look for an away win but because Stanley’s defence isn’t rock-solid, back both teams to score on the afternoon as well for a bit of extra value.
