After being beaten in their last game against Swindon Town in League One competition, Bristol Rovers will be aiming to make amends here.

Brett Pitman (76') was the scorer for Swindon Town.

Showing their bias toward action-packed matches, we’ve had goals 21 times in the previous 6 games in which Bristol Rovers have taken to the pitch, making it a mean average of 3.5 goals for each fixture. Their opponents have managed 14 of those goals. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this match, though.

Therefore, we predict a very even match with a 1-0 winning margin for Wigan at the end of the match.

Should be a close one.
