Bristol Rovers form and stats

Bristol Rovers have played three League One home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Bristol Rovers's previous match was also a home event, the loss 1-3 versus West Ham United U21 (in EFL Trophy).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Shrewsbury Town and winning 2-0.
