"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, the Pilgrims have mustered just a single win from any of their previous seven showdowns against fifth-tier opposition."
"With that rut stemming back to August 25th, the former Newport boss will be bracing himself for a stern examination here. Likewise, mustering just a sole National League clean sheet so far this season, Boston also have unpleasant memories against Wednesday's guests. In fact, pencilled in as a landslide underdog when they return to Lincolnshire in midweek, Coughlan's men lost their two battles against Forest Green last season by an aggregate score of 5-0."
Six National League midweek fixtures include Boston United versus Forest Green. Boston secured a 2-0 win over Braintree but continue to lack consistency and sit just three points above the relegation zone. The Pilgrims have recorded only one win in their last seven fifth-tier matches and have managed a single National League clean sheet this season. Boston lost both meetings with Forest Green last season by an aggregate score of 5-0. Forest Green recovered from last season's play-off heartbreak to start the campaign strongly and are regarded as top-seven contenders, leading the standings.
