Bristol Rovers form and stats

Bristol Rovers have collected 10 points from their League One home games so far after 3-1-5. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Bristol after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Bristol crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to AFC Wimbledon here at Memorial Stadium in a EFL Trophy match. Preceding that match was the home FA Cup game against Sheffield United that was lost 2-3.

The manager P. Tisdale will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Crewe Alexandra in only three days.

Bristol Rovers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Bristol defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Charlton Athletic form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Charlton Athletic, who have the most scored goals (33) in League One, have produced an overall stat of 5-3-3 so far.

Charlton's last game was the home draw against Rochdale (4-4). A 0-2 loss hosting Accrington Stanley before that.

A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Rochdale. Charlton were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 4-4, with Ronnie Schwartz scoring the equalizer. As you can tell from the result, the match against Rochdale was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today? The draw against Rochdale came from a losing position. The Charlton manager L. Bowyer brought on Ronnie Schwartz as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

Charlton has another fixture away, a League One game, against Peterborough United in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Charlton find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. Charlton Athletic have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
