Season ticket holders at Memorial Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Bristol Rovers languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Plymouth Argyle will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Bristol Rovers has the fewest points (4) at home in League One
- Plymouth Argyle has the fewest points (2) away in League One
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a EFL Trophy match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Leyton Orient.
Bristol Rovers form and stats
Bristol Rovers's results here at Memorial Stadium in the League One have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 5 defeats. It's been an uphill battle for Bristol in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Burton Albion game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Bristol Rovers enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Leyton Orient's place. The match ended 2-1 with A. Koiki scoring. In the preceding match a 4-2 victory visiting AFC Wimbledon.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Bristol have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won two, drawn seven and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bristol as they are travelling to their away game against Charlton Athletic in the League One. That match is three days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Bristol here at Memorial Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). Bristol are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 7 played).
Plymouth Argyle form and stats
There's been little loot from Plymouth Argyle's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the League One. Plymouth Argyle, who have the fewest points (2) away in League One, only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Plymouth Argyle who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Portsmouth was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Plymouth Argyle are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Ipswich Town with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A loss against Rochdale was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Plymouth Argyle playing away and similar expectations, we found 20 relevant matches. Results were five Plymouth wins, five draws and ten defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Plymouth manager R. Lowe as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Crewe Alexandra.
Plymouth find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. Plymouth have conceded 14 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - six - one (Bristol wins - draws - Plymouth Argyle wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
