Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Cheltenham Town at Memorial Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Pirates winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was two seasons ago, in February 2006, with Cheltenham T. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Pirates in a League Two match.
