The quarter final of the Football league trophy kicks off with a round of fixtures as Bristol Rovers locks horns with Plymouth at the Memorial Stadium.

Bristol rovers will head into this game on the back of an inconsistent run of performances which has seen them fall to 8th position in the Football League one table. So far this season, they have been plagued with defensive problems and there seems to be no improvement. At the back, Bristol Rovers have conceded an embarrassing total of 43 goals, making them the third worst defense in the league, and that will be a cause for concern going into this game.

Plymouth on the other hand will head into this game in excellent form as they have remained unbeaten in their last 5 games in their home league. They sit atop the Football league one table with 57 points to show for their efforts, and are 5 points clear. They have emerged with 4 victories and one draw in their last 5 games, and will be looking to extend that run. On the attack, Plymouth have been very impressive as they have found the back of the net a total of 46 times, showing just how clinical they have been this season. This makes them the second best attack in the league and that will add to their confidence going into this game.

Looking at the records have shown that Plymouth have the upper hand going into this game. They remain unbeaten against Bristol Rovers in their last 4 games, earning 3 draws and one victory in that time period, and they will be hoping to build on that. We are backing Plymouth Argyle in this game to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory, or by earning a hard fought draw.
