Bitesize Prediction: Forest Green vs York City – 27/09/25

Competition: National League

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Hoping to extend their stay at the top of the National League table this weekend, Forest Green will welcome York City to Gloucestershire on Saturday evening.

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. Last seen clinching a 2-1 victory away at Altrincham, the one-time Derby midfielder has seen his squad gain plenty of early plaudits. In fact, along with registering 13 points from their previous five National League appearances, they are also unbeaten across all competitions so far this season. Likewise, winning their opening two National League Cup showdowns by an aggregate score of 6-3, Forest Green will also be excited by their clinical performances in the final third. Already notching 20 fifth-tier strikes this season, only fellow promotion hopefuls Carlisle have registered more National League goals than Saturday’s hosts.

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. Clinching a silver medal finish among England’s fifth-tier last year, Stuart Maynard’s men have won four of their previous five appearances. Likewise, last seen on their travels landing an action-packed 3-2 win against Braintree, York have also continued to impress with their clinical performances in the final third. Storming their way to a 4-0 victory against Tamworth on September 9th, we could be treated to another enjoyable National League showdown this weekend. It should also be noted, York have secured consecutive wins on their travels by an aggregate score of 6-3.
