Bristol Rvs. are ready to welcome Bournemouth to Memorial Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pirates are clearly on top, winning 50.88% of the games played between the two.

The previous match played between the two at Memorial Stadium was more than three years back, in November 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.
