Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Hartlepool United at Memorial Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pirates are clearly on top, having won 5 and lost only 2 of the 9 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2010, with Bristol Rvs. running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Bristol Rovers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Pirates have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Hartlepool U.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While the Pools have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Bristol Rvs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower League One with a return of just 23 points from their 23 games thus far. Hartlepool U. see themselves just below half way in the Npower League One, showing a record of 32 points from their 22 games played so far,

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