Match Facts

  • Newport County completed a league double over Bristol Rovers when they last met in League Two in 2021-22; only from October 1982 to August 1983 have they ever won three successive Football League meetings with the Pirates.

  • Although Bristol Rovers have won just three of their last 31 Football League away games at Newport County (D10 L18), two of those have been across their last four trips (L2).

  • Newport have lost their last four league games and will be looking to avoid losing five in succession for the first time since late January earlier this year.

  • After winning each of their last two league games 1-0, Bristol Rovers will be looking to win three in succession for the first time since October 2022.
