Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Walsall at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pirates are clearly on top, winning 53.33% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Bristol Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 9 to 8.
Walsall's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Saddlers have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Bristol Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 5 points from their 5 games played so far, Walsall's 7 points from 5 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Bristol Rvs. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Pirates will at least gain a draw. Score draw
