Forest Green Rovers vs Dover Athletic Betting Tips & Predictions

Forest Green Rovers tag of the longest current serving members of the National League is on course to come to an end after Wednesday’s 1-0 first leg victory. Rovers will know that if they make it three victories in less than a week then they will go on to Wembley to face either Grimsby Town or Braintree Town for a place in the Football League.

Caretaker manager Scott Bartlett has had the perfect start to his reign after the shock departure of Ady Pennock and he saw his team bully their south coast opponents. Dover fans will perhaps be thankful that there is only a one goal deficit as their side never looked comfortable in the air and struggled to defend set pieces. Despite this handicap they rallied in the second half but they were unable to make the most of the opportunities they created. With neither side wanting to make a costly mistake the game died off without much further incident so the tie remains balanced on a knife edge.

There isn’t too much between these two in the scoreline but there looked to be a gulf in class for large parts of the first leg. Rovers had the second best home record in the league during the regular season so should be more than confident of doing the job at home again to secure their place in the final. You can get a Forest Green win at a relatively big price of 19/20 with Betfair.
