This could be an interesting match as Bristol Rovers have their presumed home advantage while Peterborough United are ahead 10 points in the League One table.
It's no vacation for neither Bristol Rovers nor Peterborough United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Peterborough United form and stats
3-0-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Peterborough United, who have the most scored goals (19) in League One, in their League One matches away. Peterborough have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
Impressive finishing from Jack Taylor, Siriki Dembele (3) and Jonson Clarke-Harris secured the home win 5-1 against Shrewsbury Town in their previous game. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Burton Albion.
As mentioned above, Peterborough was the only team on the pitch versus Shrewsbury Town in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Siriki Dembele's lethal finishing against Shrewsbury Town. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The FA Cup trip to Oxford United.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Peterborough have scored 5 goals in 5 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
