Sutton United vs Forest Green Rovers Predictions

• Only three sides have better home form than Sutton, who’ve lost just three of their 15 home games.
• Both sides are unbeaten across their last 11 matches.
• Forest won the previous meeting 2-1, scoring two goals from just two shots on target.

Hosts will rely on exceptional home form

The hosts come into this one off the back of a disappointing 0-0 draw at home to Salford City, only their third draw of the season on home soil, and with Northampton winning their fixture it meant that hosts Sutton United occupied the fourth place and just two points off of the automatic promotion spots. The Yellows have been solid at home this season, winning nine of their 15 home league games and losing just three times in total. They’ll come into this one in full confidence that they can claim victory but it won’t be easy as the visitors possess the best away record in the division.

The greenest club in the land have been in phenomenal form this season, sit top of the tree and are clear by a massive ten points. Of the 29 matches they’ve played this season, they’ve tasted defeat just twice, and both of those losses came on home soil. Remarkably, the Green Army haven’t been toppled once on their travels and will arrive at Gander Green Lane hoping they can maintain that marvellous away form.

Sutton can be the first to beat Forest Green Rovers at home

Sutton United are averaging the third-highest shots on target per game at home this season and they’ll be well up for this one. Make no mistake about it, this will be a stern test and you have to wonder when the visitors might start taking their foot off of the gas given their lead at the top. They’ve conceded chances in their last few away games and have conceded in both of their last two road trips against weaker opposition than Sutton. The hosts are a huge price and they can inflict the first away defeat onto the Rovers.
