Forest Green Rovers
- Forest Green Rovers have won 8 of their 12 home matches in the National League, losing just once (W8, D3, L1).
- After 24 matches, Rovers sit in fourth place with 49 points, well on their way to establishing themselves as a force in the National League.
- Forest Green’s style of play hasn’t changed much since Daniel Connor took the reins as head coach in January 2024.
- Rovers remain a high-risk, high-reward team who press aggressively, play full-backs high, and look to control the tempo of the match with their quick, youthful players.
Truro City
- Truro City have won just 1 of their last 5, drawing 1 and losing 3.
- Truro City, meanwhile, languish in 24th place with just 18 points, and look to have a big job on their hands to avoid relegation from a much tougher level of football than they’re used to.
- Truro, on the other hand, are a pragmatic side, sitting deep in compact blocks, looking to stifle Forest Green’s attacks, and play on the counter-attacks when they can.
Key Players
- Kyle McAllister is Rovers’ danger man in 2024-25; he has 7 goals in the National League and has scored 3 of Rovers’ last 5.
- Truro’s top scorer, Dominic Johnson-Fisher, has just 3 National League goals in 22 appearances, and the visitors have struggled to score on the road, while Forest Green have only conceded 9 goals at home this season (0.75 per match).
- Truro City have conceded 31 goals in their 12 away games this campaign, an average of over 2.5 goals per match.
