Recent respective form guides

Boston United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Pilgrims have scored 4, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Bristol Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.
