Match Preview

Forest Green Rovers will be looking to continue their good form when they host York City on Saturday. Rovers are unbeaten in their last four games and will be confident of extending that run against a York side who have lost to Salford and drew with Grimsby in their last two matches. York City will be no pushovers, however. The Minstermen have a good record at The New Lawn and will be looking to make it three wins in a row against Forest Green. Forest Green's main threat will come from the wide areas through Cadden and Young. The Greaves will have his hands full with Hyde and McLaughlin, so York's defense will need to be strong. The visitors are likely to look to hit Rovers on the counter-attack, so the hosts will need to be careful not to get caught out. It should be a close and entertaining match, with both teams capable of winning. However, Forest Green's recent form suggests that they will be the slight favorites.
