Truro City come into this one under pressure, with just one win in their last six league games and three matches without a victory. Their recent home work has been mixed too, as they have drawn with Boreham Wood and Solihull Moors but lost to Scunthorpe United and Hartlepool United at home in the same period, which leaves little room for comfort on their own pitch.
Forest Green Rovers have been more reliable going forward, scoring four against Brackley Town on 3 April and two or more in several of their recent outings. Their away record is also strong enough to matter here, with eight wins and six draws from 21 away league matches, and they have found the net 31 times on the road. That kind of output gives this fixture decent cover for a higher-scoring match, even if they are not spotless defensively.
The head-to-head record also nudges towards goals rather than a cagey contest, with the two sides drawing 1-1 in December 2025. Truro’s home numbers are not especially low-scoring overall, and Forest Green’s away games have produced 58 goals across 21 trips, which sits close to the sort of total that can land over 2.5. Truro’s recent defeats have also tended to arrive without much control, so a single-goal away win would not be enough to rule out a third goal arriving.
My prediction is Over 2.5 Goals at 13/20. Forest Green have just come off a 4-0 win and have scored at least twice in four of their last six league matches, while Truro have conceded in four of their last five. The earlier 1-1 meeting between these clubs also shows there is a scoring route on both sides, and Truro’s home fixtures have not been tight enough to strongly favour a low line. The slight tension is that Truro have also been involved in a few narrow games, but the stronger recent attacking numbers point upwards.
A 1-2 away win fits the same scoring case, with Forest Green’s away output and Truro’s recent run of one win in six both leaning toward a match where the visitors do enough and the total clears three.
