Bristol Rovers

WLDLLD

Bristol Rovers will play in this game after a 0-0 League One draw against Shrewsbury Town.

An interesting characteristic of more recent Bristol Rovers games is the number of nil scores.

From their previous sextet of matches before this one, in 6 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've been a loser. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, though.

Heading into this fixture, Bristol Rovers haven’t won at home in the past 2 league matches.
