Forest Green Rovers
- Forest Green Rovers are 5th in the National League 2025-2026 table with 62 points from 36 games.
- Forest Green Rovers are odds-on favorites to beat Aldershot Town FC on home turf and we feel they should oblige, although we also expect both teams to score and the over/under goal lines to land on the ‘over’ side.
- Daniel Connor took over from Rob Edwards at Forest Green Rovers at the start of 2024 and his immediate priority was to implement a high-tempo attacking style that he had always intended to play.
- Rovers have scored 33 goals at home in the National League 2025-2026 (1.83 per match) and Kyle McAllister (11 goals in 32 appearances) has been their main attacking weapon.
- Forest Green's latest three results have seen them draw 1-1 away to Boreham Wood, lose 2-3 at home to Boston United and beat Gateshead FC 2-0 away.
Aldershot Town FC
- Aldershot Town FC are 13th with 42 points from 34 matches.
- John Coleman was tasked with a pragmatic rebuild at Aldershot Town FC and he has done just that, installing a compact 4-4-2 system that has allowed his side to be strong at the back and dangerous on the counterattack since he took over in October 2025.
- The Shots are in form, with three wins, a draw and a defeat from their last five, but they will be in for a stern test against Forest Green Rovers on Saturday.
- Sean Patton has been Aldershot’s primary goal threat of late, scoring four of their eight goals across the last five and Ryan Hill remains the team’s top goalscorer this season with seven in 32 appearances.
Head-to-Head
We’re backing the home team to edge this, but as they have failed to win their last home game against Aldershot , we feel there is a mental hurdle to get over.
