Recent respective form guides
Bristol Rovers need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Pirates have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Bournemouth's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Bristol Rvs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 13 matches. Bournemouth find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 9 points.
