"Starting with the hosts, while Boston might have clinched a much-welcomed 2-0 victory against Braintree last week, Graham Coughlan's men have failed to find any kind of stability so far this season. Opening the midweek fixtures holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, the Lincolnshire-based outfit could find themselves at the heart of another relegation scrap this year. Despite enjoying an impressive National League Cup romp,"
"As for the visitors, although Forest Green might have suffered major play-off heartbreak last season, Robbie Savage's men haven't shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Enjoying what has been a dominant start, the Green Army are widely regarded as another standout top-seven contender. Getting the midweek fixtures underway leading the chase at the top of the National League standings, Wednesday's guests will be confident of making another statement here."
Boston secured a 2-0 victory against Braintree but have struggled for consistency this season, collecting just one National League clean sheet and only one win from their previous seven fifth-tier matches. The Pilgrims sit with a three-point margin above the drop zone and previously lost both meetings last season to Forest Green by an aggregate 5-0. Forest Green remain unbeaten across competitions, accumulating 28 points from 12 National League games and leading the table. Robbie Savage's side are viewed as strong top-seven contenders and travel confident after recent away wins, while Boston have shown defensive vulnerabilities.
