Peterborough to boost promotion chances against Bristol Rovers
3414

On Saturday afternoon, Bristol Rovers host Peterborough at the Memorial Stadium as the two teams battle for potentially vital points at both ends of League One.

Bristol Rovers

The Pirates have endured a mixed season so far in the third tier of English football, as they are in 17th place in the table but are seven points clear of the relegation zone.

A 2-2 home draw against Fleetwood Town last time out means that Rovers have failed to win in their previous four games in League One.

However, the home team has also suffered just one defeat in their previous eight league outings, as they have drawn three of their four winless league games.

Despite their relatively underwhelming recent results, Bristol Rovers have remained prolific in front of goal, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five matches in League One.

Joey Barton’s team is unbeaten in three home matches in the league but has also won just one of their last seven games on home soil in League One.

Peterborough

The visitors will hope to consolidate their position in the play-off spots and maybe even make up ground on the teams in the automatic promotion berths in this clash.

A 3-2 defeat at Exeter City last time out in League One ended a three-game winning run for the Posh in the third tier.

Peterborough’s recent league matches have certainly not lacked goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games.

Grant McCann’s team has been poor away from home in League One, winning just two of their last eight away matches and suffering defeat in six games in the run.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Peterborough will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their chances of challenging for automatic promotion.
