St. Albans City vs Forest Green Rovers Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Indran in FA Cup Predictions
St Albans City play host to Forest Green Rovers in this FA Cup first round clash at Clarence Park. St Albans have only lost once in their last 15 matches and had a 2-1 over Eastbourne Boro in their last match propelling them into second place in the National League South. They have come through the FA Cup qualifying competition to get into the main draw beating Corinthian-Casuals in the final. The match went to penaties after both the first match and the replay ended in draws. They will be battle-hardened in the knockout competition and although they are facing a team from the higher League Two they will fancy their chances of causing an upset. St Albans will be looking to reach the second round of the FA Cup for just the fourth time in their history. They first achieved this feat in the 1968-69 season and the last time was in 1996/97 season. St Albans have never beaten League opposition in this competition in their eight previous attempts with six losses snd two draws.
Forest Green Rovers have been in great form this season and sit on top of the table in League Two with 31 points, three points clear of the second place team. They have been defeated just once in their last 11 competitive matches. They have lost only once in nine away games this season. Rovers have had two previous encounters with St. Albans and they both ended in draws but will be aware not to underestimate the non-league team especially in front of their home supporters. Forest Green Rovers have never won an away tie in the FA Cup as a Football League team losing three and drawing one. They have however won six out of the seven FA Cup ties against non-league teams.

The FA Cup remains the one competition where the league standings don’t matter and this match is a classic case of that. St Albans playing in front of a sell-out crowd at Clarence Park will make life difficult for their much fancied opposition. We think the home team will cause an upset by either winning or drawing this match.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
