Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Chester City at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Pirates.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was just last season, in December 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Bristol Rovers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Pirates's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Chester City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Blues have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Bristol Rvs.'s 38 points from 27 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Chester City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 33 points from their 26 matches.
