The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the National League contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, WWLLL in their last five reflecting a win rate of 57.14%. The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, WLWDL in their last five and a win rate of 28.57% reflecting their unpredictability. Where Forest Green have leaned on defensive discipline, Wealdstone have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. Tim Sherwood makes his predictions for the new Premier League season, including who he thinks will make the top four in the table.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Forest Green will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Wealdstone must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. They were slightly found out against Amorim's Milan in pre-season, with the press not quite sharp enough - the fourth goal, in particular, came from just one ball over a high-lined defence.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. Worth mentioning the forward is okay and is back on the pitch.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 2-2 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
