Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on a record-breaker. Under 3.5 goals is the prediction, meaning no more than 3 goals will be scored in total during 90 mins. Get best odds on under 3.5 just below, followed by relevant form stats and head-to-head (H2H) records.

Goal Statistics

Blackpool's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Bristol Rovers have conceded in each of their last 10 League One outings. A PG of 1.7 for Steve Bruce's side suggests that run should continue.

A truly awful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Bristol Rovers fans, as should a 9 League One matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
