It's game two of the League One season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Bristol Rovers-Ipswich Town!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Carabao Cup.

An away draw last time out for Bristol Rovers, facing Sunderland in a game that ended 1-1. In the match before that, Bristol Rovers hosted Walsall (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) and drew the EFL Trophy game 2-2.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
