Forest Green Rovers prepare for a key National League away trip to face Scunthorpe United this Saturday at Attis Arena. The match kicks off at 2pm UK time as Rovers look to convert recent draws into a vital victory.
Steve Cotterill's side currently sit 13th in the table with 15 points from their opening 11 games. Their recent form shows a pattern of resilience, having drawn three of their last five fixtures. The most recent was a 1-1 stalemate at home to Wealdstone last weekend, where Tyrese Campbell's first-half strike earned a point. Before that, they fought back for a thrilling 3-3 draw at Sutton United.
Scunthorpe's mixed form
Their hosts, Scunthorpe, are positioned 21st and have experienced inconsistent results. They were soundly beaten 3-0 by Barrow last time out but had previously thrashed Hartlepool United 4-1 at home. Their form over the last five games reads two wins and three defeats, indicating a team capable of both strong performances and heavy setbacks.
Settled lineups expected
Both managers fielded largely unchanged sides in their last outings, suggesting continuity for this fixture. Forest Green's lineup against Wealdstone featured Ewan Ross in goal behind a back four of Kofi Abrefa, Fankaty Mabete, Kyle Ajayi and Nathan Kengni. The midfield trio of Tyrese Campbell, Aaron Gbadehan and Stephen Etaluku provided the platform for forwards Kieran McAllister, Ben Ifeanyi and Jaden Marquez.
Scunthorpe's last starting eleven included experienced figures like James Norwood and John McAtee, who will pose a significant threat.
