Savage’s Green have a go on the front foot
Forest Green are 6th in the National League 2026/2027 with six points from two games, ahead of Boreham Wood in 7th on four points after two. The Green Devils have won both of their National League 2026/2027 games, and have a perfect winning record in the National League since Robbie Savage took over on 1st July 2025. The Wood have also won one of their National League 2026/2027 contests, and have not lost any of their five since Luke Garrard's appointment on the 13th September 2024.
These two sides are closely matched and both come into this fixture in great form, so don't expect a mismatch at the Fully Charged New Lawn Stadium on Saturday. Forest Green are the slight favorite at 2.18, ahead of Boreham Wood at 2.87 and the draw at 3.7.
Both teams will fancy their chances
The most recent meeting between Forest Green and Boreham Wood finished with a 1-0 Boreham Wood victory in National League 2025/2026, and the Wood haven't won their last meeting against Forest Green at this venue. However, they will fancy their chances against their midland rivals this time around, with each team having one win and there being one draw in their last three meetings.
The hosts are a high-tempo team with pace and quality, and will press forward with gusto. Garrard has given the Wood a more controlled edge since his appointment in September 2024, and they look more patient in building up play and dangerous on the counter attack. This should make for an interesting contest, with the Wood looking to control the pace and the hosts aiming to get at them.
Both team have some firepower
