Bristol Rovers form and stats

There's been little loot from Bristol Rovers's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 22 away games in the League One. Bristol Rovers, who have the fewest scored goals (17) away in League One, only have 3 wins to counter their 13 defeats and 6 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Bristol have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the AFC Wimbledon game. With the Bristol Rovers losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Bristol aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 431 league minutes without a goal. L. Leahy was the last player to find the net.

Home advantage was not enough for Bristol Rovers in their previous game, as they lost their League One-match, hosting Crewe Alexandra, 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Portsmouth wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bristol as they have only managed to score 17 times from 22 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Bristol's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 37 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
