📏 Form Guide

Bristol Rovers
WLLLLL 🔻
Bristol Rovers will be hoping for a better result following a 1-0 League One losing effort in their last game against Bolton Wanderers.
Aaron Collins (76') was the scorer for Bolton Wanderers.
It has not been often in recent times that Bristol Rovers haven’t conceded. The facts show that Bristol Rovers have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 13 goals on the way.
Heading into this fixture, Bristol Rovers are without a home win in the past 2 league matches.
Exeter City
DDLWLD
Last time out, Exeter City drew 1-1 in the League One match with Wigan Athletic.
The only player to score from Exeter City was Reece Cole (69'). Dale Taylor (51') scored for Wigan Athletic.
Over the course of 5 of the prior 6 games featuring Exeter City, a comparatively low number of goals have gone in between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game during that period comes out as a paltry 1.83, with the number of goals averaged by The Grecians standing at 0.83. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, though.
A look at their previous results shows us that Exeter City:
- haven't been beaten by Bristol Rovers when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
- are undefeated in their previous 4 away league matches.
👥 Head to head
Inspecting their prior head-to-head clashes going back to 01/10/2022 tells us that Bristol Rovers have won 1 of these games and Exeter City 4, with the tally of draws standing at 1.
There were also goals galore in those games, with 22 in all at an average of 3.67 goals per meeting.
The previous league encounter between these sides was League One match day 22 on 26/12/2024 which ended up with the score at Exeter City 3-1 Bristol Rovers.
The match was refereed by Tom Reeves.
📰 Team News: Bristol Rovers
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Bristol Rovers gaffer Iñigo Calderón to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Kamil Conteh (Bone inflammation) misses out.
🗞️ Team News: Exeter City
Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell has to currently contend with reduced team options. Jack Fitzwater (Hamstring injury), Johnly Yfeko (Hamstring injury) and Yanic Wildschut (Cruciate ligament injury) are not ready for selection.
🔮 Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Bristol Rovers will really need to work well to see themselves scoring against this Exeter City side who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.
We’ve gone for a good battle with a 0-1 win for Exeter City at the end of this game.
Should be an interesting one.
