Recent respective form guides

Bristol Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Pirates's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Boston Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Pilgrims have hit 4 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bristol Rvs.'s 57 points from 43 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Boston Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola League Two, showing a record of 57 points from their 43 games played so far,
