Forest Green Rovers vs Rochdale Predictions

• Forest Green have scored 16 straight home league goals without reply.
• Rochdale’s only away win since September 2021 came against 19th-placed Barrow.
• Forest Green have conceded a league-low nine home league goals.

The march towards a title continues for FGR

Much like the plant-based food that Forest Green serve in the concourses of the New Lawn, their title hopes are growing by the week. Fans of the Greens have not seen their side concede a goal across the last 703 minutes of home league play, in which time they have put 16 goals past their sorry opponents!

The hosts are ten points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand ahead of this midweek round, so the prospect of facing mid-table Rochdale will do little to strike fear into Forest Green hearts.

Forest Green have lost just twice at home in this league campaign (W10, D2) and those defeats were against sides currently challenging for play-off positions. In fact, only two sides picked up more home points than Forest Green while only two scored more home league goals, suggesting this could be a long night for Rochdale.

A long way home for Rochdale

Rochdale must make an approximate 330 mile round trip for this fixture and with the club currently winless in six away games, the hardy travelling faithful will know the risk of a sombre 3hr drive home is a likely outcome.

Overall, I think the price about a Forest Green win is rather generous, even at a shade of odds on. This looks like the perfect selection to pop into your accumulators and it could end up being a straightforward 2-0 home win in the correct score market at smaller stakes.
