Bristol Rovers pack their bags to visit Bournemouth at Dean Court on Monday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Pirates will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 36 and win only 14 of the 61 games.

The previous match played between the two at Dean Court was within the last three years, in November 2008, the Cherries carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a F.A. Cup match.
