Bristol Rovers, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-1 League One success versus Blackpool.
For Bristol Rovers, goals were scored by Brandon Hanlan (34') and Sam Nicholson (36'). Gary Madine (9') scored for Blackpool.
It has been seldom in recent games that Bristol Rovers have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that The Pirates have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals during that time. Let’s see whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.

ℹ️ Team News: Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers boss Paul Tisdale has no fitness worries at all coming into this clash with a completely healthy group available for selection.
ℹ️ Team News: Sheffield United
From a largely full-strength group of players, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder to be concerned with. Jack O'Connell (Knee Surgery) won’t be playing here.
🔮 Prediction
For this match, we think that Bristol Rovers certainly have the ability to find the back of the net against this Sheffield United side, but a single goal isn’t likely to be as many as they’ll concede.
We are therefore anticipating a 1-2 advantage for Sheffield United at the end of the match. Could easily go either way, this.
