Plymouth vs Bristol Rovers Odds, Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Plymouth remain in the top 2 and is on course to a direct promotion but they don’t have room for any errors. Rovers play only for pride and already started to give some of the youngsters minutes.

Hardie to Score Anytime

Our first Plymouth vs Bristol Rovers prediction is for Plymouth’s top goalscorer Hardie (13 goals) to find the back of the net in this important for his team match. Hardie has scored in 44% of Plymouth’s home games and 10 of his 13 league goals have been scored at home. Now he is up against a Bristol side that conceded 2 or more in 4 of the last 5 H2Hs.

Half With Most Goals – Second

We continue our free betting tips with our next Plymouth vs Bristol Rovers prediction. We think the second half will be when the majority of the goals will be scored. This seems very likely to us with both teams scoring the vast majority of their goals after the interval. For Plymouth, that percentage is 67.1, and for Bristol 59.2%.

Over 0.5 Bristol Goals

Our final Plymouth vs Bristol Rovers prediction backs the visitors to score at least 1 goal. With this being a local rivalry the Pirates will want to entertain. They certainly know how to score and they have found the back of the net 8 times in just their last 4 away outings. At the same time, Plymouth kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 matches.

Plymouth vs Bristol Rovers Lineups, Match Preview and Latest Team News

Plymouth

Plymouth remained in first place with a solid 3-1 home win vs Cambridge. Had to work hard in the first half but once the momentum shifted in their favour there was no stopping Argyle. With only 1 point splitting the top 3 sides and only 2 of them securing automatic promotion Plymouth need to remain focused.

Several players nurse knocks and bruises but expectations are that they all will be fit so the squad could be very similar to that in the last round. The main goalie Cooper, defender Bolton and inner midfielder Miller are all set to miss.

Bristol Rovers

Rovers showed a lack of desire and motivation on Saturday when a dispassionate display on their visit to Port Vale brought a deserved 0-2 loss. This was the second consecutive defeat for the Pirates, who started to trust some youngsters lately as they play only for pride.

Coach Burton pledged to use many regulars in the coming match as this is a local derby. He also said he wants to see how his young players do in such an atmosphere, so it seems the squad will be again a mixture of youth and experience. The midfield line remains badly crippled as the 2 main inner midfielders Rossiter and Coutts are out for the season.
