Recent respective form guides

Bristol Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Pirates have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Torquay United's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.

Bristol Rovers are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 11 matches.

Torquay United's 18 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
