History of the Bristol Rovers v Huddersfield Town fixture

Bristol Rvs. play host to Huddersfield Town at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 14 previous games, with the Pirates winning just 6.

The last time the two teams met at Bristol Rvs. was just over four years ago, in February 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Bristol Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Pirates have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Huddersfield is pretty dire, chalking up just 1 victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While the Terriers have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bristol Rvs. find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 45 points from their 35 matches. Huddersfield see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 49 points from their 38 games played so far,
