Bristol Rovers

LLLLDL ⚠

Bristol Rovers will be hoping for a better result following a 0-1 League One loss in their previous game against Stevenage.

Jamie Reid (12') was the scorer for Stevenage.

It has been seldom 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 9 goals during that time. That sort of trend isn’t assured to follow through here, however.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Bristol Rovers:

• haven't won against Reading in their previous 7 league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 4 league games. That's never good.

Reading

• have not been beaten by Bristol Rovers when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 3 league matches away from home.
