🅾 PREDICTION: FOR 1 – 9 CLE (CLE to win)
🏠 Home: Forest Green Rovers FC (+9 🏭 Groundsman) — DF:1 MF:0 FW:8
⚔️ KEY BATTLE: Forward vs Defence is the decisive area — Clevedon's attack (FW:62) vastly outguns Forest Green's defence (DF:29), giving Clevedon a commanding edge in the most critical zone.
⭐ ONES TO WATCH: Moritz Hofmann (FW, TL:16) — FOR | Thibaut Pouliquen (GK, TL:17) — CLE
🎯 VERDICT: Clevedon Town should win this comfortably despite being away from home. Their forward line of 62 overwhelms Forest Green's defence of just 29, and a strong goalkeeper in Thibaut Pouliquen (TL:17) at the other end ensures Forest Green's limited attack of 40 finds little joy. Glen Cole leads a Clevedon frontline that looks set to dominate from first whistle to last.
MARVIN'S TAKE
FOR 1 - 9 CLE
Clevedon Town arrive with Glen Cole and the Brown-Black forward axis absolutely ravenous, and Forest Green's defensive line looks like it was assembled from spare parts found behind a stadium I'd rather not think about. Niels Pedersen sweeping up behind everything like a quiet, competent shadow makes Forest Green's attacking ambitions — such as they are — feel rather touching in their futility. I predicted this outcome, I am correct, and being correct about a 9-1 defeat brings me no joy whatsoever, which is appropriate, because nothing does.
AXEL'S TAKE
FOR 1 - 9 CLE
Clevedon are coming to the New Lawn like an invading army tonight, and Forest Green's defensive lines look dangerously thin against that relentless forward pressure. Glen Cole and his strike partners are going to tear through this backline repeatedly — I see no way Forest Green's midfield can hold back that tide alone. This is going to be a brutal, merciless rout, lads.
Match Notes
Home fans are looking for a performance here. Or a goal, anyway!!

Bryce Kalmbach taking his warriors into Forest Green territory — this is a clash where Clevedon need to arrive with iron in their boots from the first whistle.
