History of the Bristol Rovers v Hereford United fixture

Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Hereford United at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pirates are clearly on top, beating their opponents 4 times from 7 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was just last season, in January 2007, the Pirates carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Bristol Rovers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Pirates have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Hereford Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Bulls's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 6 against.

Bristol Rvs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches. Hereford Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 0 points from their 2 games thus far.
