Recent respective form guides

Bristol Rovers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Pirates have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Huddersfield Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Terriers, and 3 goals against.

Bristol Rovers are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower League One with a return of just 33 points from their 35 games thus far.

Huddersfield Town are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 60 points from 35 games.

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