Forest Green Rovers produced a late surprise, as they beat Bristol Rovers 2-1 in the first game of the campaign. Hendry’s brilliant lobbed goal in the 89thminute gave forest green this victory. Ipswich Town had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Bolton after coming back from behind to draw the game.

Forest Green came up with an impressive performance in the first game of the season and one can expect Ian Burchnall’s men to continue this form even into the second game especially
with their home supporters in the stands. Ipswich were quite underwhelming in the game against Bolton. Last season, Ipswich only picked up seven victories from the away matches.
The midfielder, who celebrated his 27th birthday earlier this week, was absent for Town’s opening game of the season last weekend, having also missed the final two fixtures of the Blues’ pre-season calendar.
He has, however, returned to the grass, and could be in line to make his competitive debut for the Club at Portman Road next week against Colchester (Tuesday, Carabao Cup) or MK Dons (Saturday, League One).
“I think Dom is going to fall just short for this weekend,” said Kieran. Saturday is going to come just too quickly, but he’ll hopefully be involved in the fixtures next week.
“Corrie Ndaba has a very slight strain in one of his hip flexors so he hasn’t trained this week, but it won’t be anything long-term.”

Forest Green come into this game with a lot of positivity picked up from the opening day victory over Bristol Rovers. However, manager Ian Burchnall will be aware that the team’s chances
of staying up go up higher only with sustained success. This is a team that has lost several key players over the summer and Ian Burchnall has a huge jump to keep the club in winning sequenc
Ipswich are strong favourites to get promoted automatically. Kieran McKenna’s arrival was able to galvanise the club midway through last season and it would not be a surprise to see the team completed the top of the table even after starting the season with two dropped points at home.
