Bristol Rovers form and stats

Bristol Rovers have collected 21 points from their League One home games so far after 5-6-8. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Bristol, their manager Barton and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Marquis was the last player to score a league goal for Bristol Rovers and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Bristol Rovers haven't scored in 209 minutes.

The Bristol crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Portsmouth here at Memorial Stadium. Midfield player Bogarde got a match rating of 6.81 in that game, the max score being 10. Bogarde hit one key pass.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Wycombe Wanderers (0-2).

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 Rovers as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Bristol Rovers has won 9 of these, drawn 1 and lost 6.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bristol Rovers as they are travelling to their away game against Fleetwood Town in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

The Bristol Rovers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 19 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Bristol have conceded 30 from these games.

Charlton Athletic form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 6 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Charlton Athletic, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Charlton won their last game, 6-0 versus Shrewsbury Town played at home. As you can tell from the results above, Charlton Athletic was very dominant against Shrewsbury Town, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-0 (!) with Fraser, Leaburn (2), Bonne, Morgan and Rak-Sakyi providing the goals. Leaburn has scored at least one goal for the away team four matches in a row. The efficiency! The attacker Rak-Sakyi got a match rating of 8.31 in that game. Rak-Sakyi scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 4 of 7 times and had 27 successful passes (of 28 total).

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Wycombe Wanderers.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by Charlton Athletic in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Charlton Athletic, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Charlton are hosting Burton Albion in the League One only three days away.
