Bristol Rovers, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Bristol Rovers players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Blackpool.
It seems pretty certain that Matt Taylor will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 19 of their 21 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from The Pirates, although undefeated in their last 7 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Portsmouth, Recent FormPortsmouth manager John Mousinho will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Fleetwood Town.
He will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. When playing away from home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 4 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 16 games.
Goalscorer Colby Bishop will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Portsmouth.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Pompey in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Bristol in their last 13 meetings together.
In the last 4 league matches against Portsmouth, Bristol have failed to record a victory.
With no real injury worries, Bristol manager Matt Taylor will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Portsmouth manager John Mousinho has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
