- Both teams have been involved in some tight matches recently.
- Forest Green Rovers have won just two of their last ten (D4, L4) and Chesham United FC have won four of their last ten (D2, L4).
- The Generals will travel with hopes of causing an upset and are listed at 32/5 to do so in this one.
FA Cup qualification has given us some good games
Forest Green Rovers drew 1-1 with Wealdstone, lost 2-4 to Hartlepool United and then drew 0-0 with Chesham United FC last time out. Daniel Connor has led Forest Green Rovers since 19 January 2024 and has built his team around width, full-back combinations and late pressure.
Chesham United FC beat Real Bedford FC 4-3, lost 0-5 to Chelmsford City and then drew 0-0 with Forest Green Rovers. James Duncan has managed The Generals since 1 September 2020 and has installed a compact, pragmatic setup that is tailor-made for away-day damage.
The last H2H in FA Cup Qualification 2026 ended 0-0 at Chesham's ground, but this rematch looks to be a much more lively affair. The odds for both teams to score is 67/100 and we're going to take it in the hope that this game has a bit more spark, and therefore, more goals than the reverse fixture.
Chesham will have the edge
Over 2.5 goals is currently priced at 9/20 for this one, so this game looks like it is set to be a cup battle rather than a tight scrap. Forest Green's home record in all competitions reads W1, D1, L3 and that's not exactly a fortress.
Chesham are averaging 3.00 goals-per-game on the road, scoring nine across their three away fixtures. The hosts have been poor of late, posting a recent record of W0, D3, L2 and that's not good enough.
The visitors have a mixed, but dangerous record across their last five (W2, D1, L2) and we think they will have enough about them to cause an upset in this clash. Alex Lafleur is the team's most prominent attacking threat with two goals in his last five games and he'll be the sharpest blade of an interesting away attack.
We're backing the visitors to come away with the win here, although we wouldn't put anyone off if they were to go for a Forest Green win and BTTS here.
