Bristol Rovers Preview – Will the Pirates pick up a precious three points?

Joey Barton’s Bristol Rovers have had a tough start to their League Two season. After five games, the Pirates have already suffered three defeats, taking just four points from a possible 12 along the way. However, they did pick up a win in the Football League Trophy last time out.

Bristol Rovers kicked off their campaign with four defeats from their opening five league and cup matches. Their only League One success so far was a 1-0 home win over Oldham Athletic on 17th August. Rovers’ indifferent start sees them languishing in 22nd spot in the League Two table.

Our betting prediction:
Both teams to score
8/11

(odds taken 1420 GMT, Friday 3 September)

 
Bristol Rovers will be desperate for all three points at the Memorial on Saturday. They have won their last two at home, and the Rovers victory here is available at the decent price of evens.

Crawley Town Preview – Can the Reds leave Bristol with a positive result?

Crawley Town have not fared much better than Bristol Rovers, as the Reds have also taken just four points so far. However, they have played a game less than Saturday’s opponents. John Yems’ men have won one, drawn one and lost two of their opening four League Two matches.

Since a 2-1 triumph over Salford City on 17th August, Town have taken just one point from the last six on offer. They were hammered 6-3 at Forest Green Rovers before drawing 0-0 at home with Northampton Town last time out. Crawley find themselves in 20th spot.

Bristol Rovers vs Crawley Town Betting Advice

This will be the first league meeting between these two sides since the 2015-16 League Two campaign. When they last squared off in the league, Bristol Rovers picked up an easy 3-0 home win. However, they have met on three occasions in cup competitions since then, with Rovers winning two and drawing one. Almost six years have passed since Crawley last beat the Pirates.

 

Key Facts – Bristol Rovers vs Crawley Town Betting Tip

  • Bristol Rovers are unbeaten in four against Crawley (three wins, one draw)
  • The Pirates have won two in a row on home turf
  • Both teams have taken four points thus far

 

With both teams making poor starts to their League Two seasons, this is a tough one to call. However, with the game taking place at the Memorial Stadium, that should give the hosts the slight edge. We like the look of the Bristol Rovers win and under 2.5 goals at 7/2.

Harvey Saunders has netted two goals this season, including one in Rovers’ Football League Trophy victory in midweek. You can get 5/1 for the No. 22 to score the opening goal of this fixture.
