Football Bet of the Day: Party at New Bucks Head

Winter is Coming: But Forest Green are still laden with goals

In search of goals, Tobias Gourlay goes conferencing in Shropshire

Telford v Forest Green
Tuesday 19:45

Bundesliga II. Maybe there's a clue in the name.

RB Leipzig 1 FC Heidenheim 1. It looked good when that was the score after half an hour. It looks desperate now that that's the final score.

In England's Conference Premier, no one's conceding more regularly than Telford under new boss Liam Watson.

Bottom of the table, the Bucks have shipped 36 goals in the first 14 rounds of the season. Wretched defence has utterly undermined the decent work being done upfront: at New Bucks Head, they have scored 14 in seven. Each of the six games in which they have scored once has delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total.

Tonight's visitors are eighth-placed Forest Green, who are six away games without a clean sheet. Since Adrian Pennock seized power, Rovers have conceded in 19/21 on the road and seen Over 2.5 Goals in 11/21. They have scored themselves in 15/17.

Home and away, each of Rovers' last five league games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals.
