Goal Statistics

Goals have been a problem for Bristol Rovers of late. It has been 8 League Two matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday lunch time against Swindon Town.

Swindon Town's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday lunch time, not least because Bristol Rovers have conceded in each of their last 12 League Two outings. A PG of 1.6 for I. Holloway's side suggests that run should continue.
