In the first H2H game this season, Forest Green won 4:2. Looking further back, in the past ten H2H games, Tamworth won four, while Forest Green won five. However, in recent matches, Forest Green were a better team overall.
Regarding the number of goals, eight of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (eight).
Tamworth team overview
After promotion from the National League North in the 2023/24 season, Tamworth managed easily to survive last year, finishing 10th. This season, the Lambs are once again in a comfortable position to secure a mid-table team. After 39 rounds, they are in 12th place, but without a real chance of reaching the Playoffs or dropping down to the danger zone. Although there was a brief opportunity to push for the playoffs, a run of four defeats in their last five matches has effectively ended those hopes.
After a 3:2 loss to Rochdale in the previous game, coach Andy Peaks spoke to the media. He said it was a frustrating afternoon after conceding a late goal. However, the coach said there were some positives and was generally satisfied with the performance despite losing the match.

Forest Green team overview
Forest Green suffered two consecutive relegations in 2022/23 and 2023/24 and have tried to gain promotion last year. Unfortunately, they missed direct promotion by finishing third and eventually failed to come out of the playoffs. This season, it seems the Green are bound to make the playoffs, as they are in 6th place and a comfortable seven points away from dropping out. The main reason the Greens aren't higher in the league table is their pretty poor road record. Now, the match against out-of-form Tamworth is an ideal chance to improve their poor away record.
After a 2:0 over Wealdstone, coach Robbie Savage spoke to the media. He was really happy with the win and was especially proud of the clean sheet. The coach added that the atmosphere is brilliant, and it was a joy to see them deliver such a performance.

Prediction
Despite having really bad results lately, Tamworth have been scoring regularly. But most of their bad results came on the road. At home, the Lambs won three in a row and scored ten goals - 3.33 per game. They have also been amazing for this type of bet at home, as we saw both teams scoring in six consecutive games.
Forest Green are in good form, winning three of the past four games. They also scored 2+ in four of the past five matches. Additionally, a good thing for this bet is the fact that they have had massive problems keeping a clean sheet on the road, at least lately. In the past eight road league games, they have only had one clean sheet!
Moreover, seven of the past eight H2H games ended with both teams scoring. Considering all the above, we believe that both teams to score is the safest option for this National League tie.
4 Reasons why both teams should score
- Both teams scored in Tamworth's last four games
- Tamworth scored ten goals in the past three home games
- Forest Green scored two goals per game in four of the past five games
- Seven of the past eight H2H games ended with both teams scoring
