Scunthorpe United
- Scunthorpe United (6th, 50pts from 25) have been in good form this season and, aside from a couple of disappointing draws away from home, have been in particularly good shape at home.
- Scunthorpe United are unbeaten in 5 National League matches (W2, D3), but have drawn their last two consecutive games on the road.
Forest Green Rovers
- Forest Green Rovers (5th, 54pts from 27) have been slightly better in the league so far this season and have earned a few more positive results on the road of late.
- Robbie Savage’s team are an enterprising side who have played a high-octane, vertical brand of soccer ever since their outspoken manager took over the helm earlier this term.
- Their 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system sees their wingers play inverted, while their full-backs bomb forward in a high-pressing style that seeks to force turnovers and get Forest Green on the front foot.

Betting Insights
- The Both Teams To Score option is a little heavy at 1.6 for a matchup of this stature and both sides, but we’ll take those odds for this intriguing matchup.
- The visitors have a slight edge in form, standing and odds (2.11) and are narrowly favoured to win here, although Scunthorpe at 3.05 and the draw at 3.36 are good value if you can access them.
- This matchup is a classic stylistic clash, with the home team being patient and structured, while their visitors are high-octane and aggressive.
Prediction
That should make for an entertaining 90 minutes that could be won by either side.
