Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Sutton and Forest Green face each other at Gander Green Lane in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. Sutton are eager to climb to automatic promotion berth, but they will have a big fish to fry in Saturday’s clash against the league leaders. The Yellows have been impressive at the back of late, and we are positive that they will rely on their rock-solid defence in the League Two derby.
The Green Army, on the other hand, are ten points clear of second-place Tranmere in the standings. Since Forest Green have conceded only 23 goals in 29 league fixtures this term, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. A man to watch in the away team will be Mathew Stevens, who found the net in each of the previous six league fixtures.
