The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Accrington Stanley are in the 9th position while the guesting Bristol Rovers worry at 19th.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Bristol Rovers form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

Bristol might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Rochdale proved too strong as Bristol Rovers slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Memorial Stadium. A 0-0 draw at Peterborough United's stadium before that.

We have checked recent matches where Bristol Rovers have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, zero draws and seven defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bristol manager P. Tisdale as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Fleetwood Town.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Bristol Rovers have scored 12 goals in 12 league games away. Bristol Rovers have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Accrington, two draws and one win for Bristol Rovers. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
