Footymad preview History of the Bristol Rovers v AFC Wimbledon fixture

Bristol Rovers prepare to entertain AFC Wimbledon at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Pirates have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2013, the Pirates carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.
