Cheltenham T. prepare to entertain Bristol Rovers at Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Robins.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Whaddon Road was just last season, in December 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
