Bristol Rovers form and stats

Playing away, Bristol Rovers have won 5 games, drawn 0 and suffered 4 defeats in the League One this season. Bristol Rovers have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus AFC Wimbledon with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Peterborough United.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bristol Rovers playing away, we found two games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 1 home win.

Bristol Rovers has another fixture away, a League One game, against Milton Keynes Dons in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
