Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
Forest Green Rovers arrive in confident mood after a solid pre-season build-up. The Green Devils showed resilience in recent friendlies, keeping clean sheets and demonstrating a willingness to control possession in midfield.
Southend United, meanwhile, will look to build on a positive finish to last season. The Shrimpers impressed with quick transitions and set-piece routines, and they’ll be keen to test Forest Green’s defence early on.
Nos prévisions
This encounter promises to be tight from the first whistle. Both sides have defensive strengths, so we expect a cautious start with few clear-cut chances in the opening 30 minutes.
In our view, a Match nul 1-1 is the most likely outcome, but a slim advantage could swing in Forest Green’s favour if they convert a corner or free-kick opportunity. Southend’s counter-attacking threat could also yield a goal, making this a classic toss-up.
