Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Forest Green play host Swindon Town to their New Lawn on day 3 of the new League Two campaign. The Green Army quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Salford City, with the team beating Harrogate thanks to Mathew Stevens’ goal and, no doubt, this triumph gave them a confidence boost. Barring any fresh injury worries, head coach David Horseman is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Sulphurites at the weekend.
The Robins, meanwhile, played out a 2-2 draw with Crewe in their opener and they are now on a quest to record their first win of the process. Since the visitors will go for a victory as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Talented forward Jake Young is widely expected to start against Forest Green after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
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.
