Forest Green Rovers Preview – Can Rovers extend lead at top?
Having put together a solid and impressive run of 16 matches without defeat in League Two, Saturday’s hosts, Forest Green Rovers, sit eight points clear at the top of the English fourth tier as we head into this weekend’s action.
10 wins during this period have helped Forest Green to the summit where they hold a healthy 12-point cushion over 4th placed Sutton United so surely this season is when Forest Green finally achieve promotion up to League One.
Forest Green have also impressed at home where they’ve won six of their last seven games, keeping six clean sheets in the process.
Newport County Preview – Can Exiles win five on trot?
If Newport county are to do so, the Welsh club will need to topple the current runaway league leaders of League Two in their own backyard and despite having won their last four matches on the trot, this looks a tall order for the visitors.
Newport County have registered recent wins against Harrogate Town, Scunthorpe United, Leyton Orient and Barrow respectively and they’ve also lost just one of their last nine games on their travels as well.
However, Newport have failed to beat Forest Green Rovers in their last two visits to the New Lawn.
