Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Colchester United and Crawley Town, Wrexham will be aiming to move one step closer to securing automatic promotion when they take on Forest Green on Saturday afternoon. The Dragons have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The opposition back-line should have Paul Mullin at bay as the 29-year-old has found his goal-scoring touch.
The Green Army, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 36 points on their account. Forest Green failed to spoil Mansfield Town’s party at One Call Stadium and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be January signing Christian Doidge, who played for the likes of Hibernian and Kilmarnock in the past.
Highlighted Team (Forest Green):
Forest Green are an English club which was founded back in 1889. The Rovers host fellow League Two teams at the New Lawn, the stadium with the capacity of 5,302. Forest Green played their first home league game on October 6, 1889, with the team sharing the spoils with Brimscombe.
Green is the dominant colour of their home kit, and Forest Green footballers wear black shirts and black shorts when playing on the travels. In the 1981/82 season the club won the FA Vase, with the team beating Rainworth Miners Welfare 3-0 in the title game at Wembley Stadium.
It has to noted that town of Nailsworth, where Forest Green are based, is the smallest settlement to ever host a Football League club. In December 2012 the club won a prize for growing a field without using chemicals. cheltenham town are regarded as one of the club’s fiercest rivals.
