The Green Army, on the other hand, secured immediate promotion to League One thanks to a goalless draw with Bristol Rovers. Forest Green now aim to put icing on the cake, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. As for the away side, Ben Stevenson has overcome his injury, with all Bernard, March, and McAteer pushing for a start.
