The Bristol Rovers manager B. Garner attacks this game with the team placed 12th so far. In the visitors dressing room Burton Albion and their manager J. Buxton are in 23rd place before this match.
Bristol Rovers and Burton Albion should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Bristol Rovers form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Bristol Rovers's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Memorial Stadium.
Bristol Rovers are returning here after visiting Lincoln City in a League One game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Brandon Hanlan and James Daly scored the goal(s). Before that, Bristol played out a EFL Trophy draw 1-1 when visiting Oxford United (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties).
This is expected to be a close game, with Bristol Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bristol as a small favourite), we find ten games. Bristol Rovers has won three of these, drawn six and lost one.
The manager B. Garner will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Shrewsbury Town in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Bristol Rovers at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Burton Albion form and stats
It's not happening yet for Burton Albion on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three has not been a lucky number for Burton Albion as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Accrington Stanley match. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on J. Buxton, the Burton manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
There might be some fixture complaints from Burton as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League One match against Plymouth Argyle (0-2). A loss against Cambridge United was the result prior to that, in a EFL Trophy home game.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Burton in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Burton Albion, five draws and six defeats.
A new game in only three days for Burton, the League One home match versus Rochdale. Busy days.
Burton have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Burton's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Bristol, two draws and four wins for Burton Albion. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
