Forest Green Rovers will host Sheffield Wednesday at The New Lawn on Sunday in another round of League One football.
The home side have endured a rather torrid campaign, finding themselves in the drop zone and rapidly running out of time to save their season. They were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Plymouth Argyle in their last game and could have no complaints after managing just one shot on target throughout the game.
Sheffield, meanwhile, have performed well this season and are now eyeing a return to the English Championship after a two-season absence. They were beaten 4-2 by Barnsley in their last league outing and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Trending
The visitors sit second in the league standings with 78 points from 36 games. They can leapfrog Plymouth at the top of the pile with maximum points on Sunday and will be looking to do just that.

Forest Green are on a three-game losing streak and are without a win in their last 17 games across all competitions, a run dating back to December last year. They have lost seven of their last eight home matches and could struggle.
Sheffield's latest result ended a seven-game unbeaten run and they will now be looking to bounce back here. They are in much better form than their opponents and should come out on top.
