"Starting with the hosts, while Forest Green might have suffered major play-off heartbreak last season, the Green Army haven't shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Flying out of the tarps since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, the mood in Robbie Savage's camp appears to be at a red-hot high. In fact, the Gloucestershire-based outfit open this weekend's National League fixtures holding a three-point buffer at the top of the table."
"As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways last time out thanks to a thumping performance on home soil, York City are enjoying their own respective purple patch. Last seen breezing their way to a 5-0 romp against Carlisle and making a real statement, the Minstermen have come skyrocketing up the table and have their sights firmly set on punching another play-off ticket this season."
Forest Green lead the National League by three points and remain unbeaten across all competitions after a 2-1 win at Altrincham. Robbie Savage's side have collected 13 points from five league matches, scored 20 National League goals, and won their opening two National League Cup ties by an aggregate 6-3. York City returned to winning ways with a 5-0 home victory over Carlisle and have won four of their last five matches, including a 3-2 away success at Braintree. Stuart Maynard's squad finished second last season and target another play-off place. Both teams possess potent attacking records.
