Recent respective form guides

Bristol Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Pirates have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Bournemouth's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Bristol Rovers are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower League One with a return of just 40 points from their 39 games thus far.

Bournemouth's total of 63 points from their 39 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Npower League One.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Pirates at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Cherries come away with an easy victory. Away win
