Prediction: Forest Green Rovers to win
Forest Green Rovers return to The New Lawn in excellent spirits, aiming to confirm their rising form, supported by two consecutive league victories, the latest a 3-2 win over Aldershot. The team led by Robbie Savage, who returns to the bench after a one-match suspension, looks confident and fluent in attack, while their home record of five wins from the last eight matches highlights how strong they are on their own turf. The attacking duo of Kyle McAllister and Jayden Clarke are in fine form, both having scored last time out, and their movement between the lines constantly troubles defences. Tamworth, under Andy Peaks, maintain a solid standard and can pick up points on the road, having won four of their last eight away games. Their play relies mainly on compact defending and quick counterattacks initiated by experienced centre-back Kennedy Digie, who is also a threat in the opposition box. However, the recent defeat to Woking exposed weaknesses in their defensive structure and their inability to respond after conceding. Historically, the head-to-head record is fairly even, but the most recent meeting in April 2025 ended 3-0 for Forest Green. Current form, squad quality, and home advantage all point towards the Rovers, who look set to extend their winning run and strengthen their position near the top of the table.
