Bristol Rovers – Accrington ST

Match analysis

Bristol Rovers host Accrington Stanley in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the Rovers sitting second in the table on 12 points from four wins and two defeats, while the Stanley side languish in 21st place with just five points after one win, two draws and three losses. The home side have been prolific, netting 12 goals and conceding eight, whereas Accrington have struggled defensively, letting in 13 while only managing ten. If the current gap of seven points and a superior goal difference translates onto the pitch, Bristol Rovers will look to consolidate their promotion push, while Accrington will need a turnaround to steer clear of the relegation zone. Both teams will be keen to add three points, but the statistics heavily favour a comfortable result for the Rovers.
