Fleetwood Town vs Bristol Rovers Predictions

• Bristol Rovers have lost ten of their last 11 league matches
• Six of the last nine meetings have featured under 2.5 goals
• Rovers have failed to score in three of their last four outings

Cod Army can dominate battle with Pirates

Bristol Rovers lost nine of their final League One matches last term to fall into the bottom tier of league football, and the hangover looks to have lingered into the new campaign.

The Pirates started life in League Two with a 1-0 home loss to Harrogate and we predict a comfortable win for this week’s hosts, Fleetwood.

The Lancashire outfit began their season with a comfortable 2-0 win away to Barnet, and they can make it back-to-back victories by the same scoreline this week.

Six of the last nine meetings between these two have featured no more than two goals, and it is hard to be too optimistic about a Rovers side who managed just two shots on target at Harrogate.

Fleetwood landed seven shots on Barnet’s goal last week and they have scored exactly two goals in two of their last four meetings with the Gas.

One or both teams have failed to score in six of the last nine dust-ups between these sides and it would be no surprise to see Bristol Rovers come up short again.

A 2-0 win to Fleetwood looks the best approach for correct-score punters.
