Generals’ go-forward game can be shut out by The Greens
Chesham United FC have won four, drawn one and lost five of their last ten games in all competitions, making for an inconsistent run overall. The Generals have won two and lost three of their last five, a run that includes a 4-3 win over Real Bedford in FA Cup Qualification and a 0-5 thumping at the hands of Chelmsford City in National League South.
The Generals are typically a 4-3-3 team that have shown the ability to overload the wings, counter-attack quickly and carve out chances with a series of sharp combinations. They'll certainly give it a go against Football League opposition on Saturday, and with five goals in their last five, they've certainly got the firepower to hurt Forest Green Rovers. Alex Lafleur, who has chipped in with two goals in the last five games, could be a good anytime scorer bet to get a goal on Saturday.
Forest Green can have their way on the counter
- Forest Green Rovers arrive in Buckinghamshire off the back of consecutive draws before a 2-4 home defeat to Hartlepool United last time out.
- The Greens have won just two of their last ten in all competitions, a sequence that reads as patchy by League Two standards (W2, D3, L5).
- The visitors are an out-and-out 4-4-2 team with two strikers leading the line and they'll look to play at a high tempo to take the game away from their hosts by turning games quickly on the break.
A draw looks probable in this cup fixture
Managers:
James Duncan has been in charge of the hosts since September 2020 and will know how to get his men set up for the cup fight on Saturday, while Forest Green's boss Daniel Connor has only been in the job since January 2024 and brings a more recent tactical stamp to the pitch.
Match outlook:
This has all the makings of an end-to-end game and one that could also see the sides cancel each other out, as both sides carry enough flaws to keep this FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round game level. Forest Green are unbeaten in their last two away matches (2 draws) and that should hold them in good stead to keep things tight on the road.
Chesham have played well at home recently, but their record here reads two wins, one draw and three defeats from their last six in all competitions. They concede an average of 2.67 goals per-game here and may get overrun by Forest Green, but a draw at 3.95 has real appeal here.
