FOREST GREEN ROVERS v ALDERSHOT
Friday 25th March 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – National League Betting Tips
Second placed Forest Green Rovers could jump into top spot in the National League if they take all three points against bottom half outfit Aldershot and Cheltenham Town slip up against Boreham Wood, when the two teams meet at The New Lawn on Good Friday.
Forest Green Rovers have suffered just one defeat in their last 14 matches overall in the division which was a 1-0 loss at home to third placed Grimsby Town, but with just one point separating today’s hosts from top placed Cheltenham Town, Forest Green certainly have the incentive to continue their solid form today.
An overall home record of 15-1-3 36/14 means that Forest Green have registered the most number of home wins in this division so far this season while their record at home against bottom half opposition stands at an impressive 9-0-1 19/5 with strikers Parkin and Guthrie the danger men up front.
Visitors Aldershot have lost three of their last four in the National League which is bad enough, but when you consider the nature of those defeats you’ll see why they could well struggle in the west country on Good Friday.
Heavy 8-2 and 4-0 defeats have been suffered against Chester and Altrincham (who are also both occupying bottom half league positions currently) along with a 2-0 loss at Lincoln City and a 0-0 draw against Torquay United has resulted in The Shots scoring just 2 goals for but conceding 14 in reply!
Aldershot’s away record stands at 7-3-10 26/40 and they’ve lost 7 of their last 11 away matches as the rot has started to set in. In addition, Aldershot hold a below-par record away at top half teams with stats of 2-2-6 11/22.
