Bristol Rovers look a steal at a shade over evens on betfair to get the better of Cheltenham.

The home teams recent form in all competitions is decent, reading 3-2-1 for the last 6 games. Rovers broke their home duck with a shaky win against Millwall a couple of weeks ago. After a single goal defeat in a fiery derby at Swindon, they battered Leyton Orient on chances in the FA Cup replay before going through on penalties and eased past non-league opposition scoring 5 in the process on Saturday.

The win against Leeds on Saturday was a great result for Cheltenham but the away team had more than enough chances to win the game and got hit on the break in the last few minutes. before that defeats in two cups to Brighton was a somewhat fortunate point gained at Southend who despite their position, aren't in the best of form losing 3 of their last 5 in the league.

Steven Gillespie has 4 goals in 5 outings for the away team but if Rovers can stop him they have 4 different players who have scored in the last two games so you would hope they would be confident of getting more.

The 1.72 quoted looked a little slim to me but the 2.02 on betfair is generous IMO

Think Bournemouth are worth considering tonight. Both sides suffering with injuries - from Soccernet:

Bournemouth pair Josh Gowling and Danny Hollands are major doubts for Tuesday's trip to Yeovil while Jo Kuffour and Jason Pearce will definitely miss the match.

Gowling is nursing a calf strain and faces a late fitness test, while Hollands was substituted during Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Millwall, after complaining of ill-effects following his hernia operation last week.

Forward Kuffour is suffering from a knock to the ribs, while Pearce's calf problem puts him out of contention at Huish Park.

Manager Kevin Bond will be boosted by the return of on-loan duo James Henry and Alex Pearce, who are set to play their penultimate game for the club before their initial loan spells end.

Both players were omitted from the weekend's squad at the request of their parent club Reading. Bond still has Neil Moss (knee), Ryan Garry (shin), Russell Perrett (calf), Darren Anderton (hamstring), Sam Vokes (ribs), Steven Foley (back), Jean Christophe (wrist) and Scott Golbourne (ankle) all still missing.

Injury-hit Yeovil will give experienced striker Marcus Stewart a late fitness test ahead of their return to League One action.

Stewart has been ruled out of the past two matches by a niggling hamstring injury and is rated 50-50 by boss Russell Slade.

Midfielder Matty Rose has joined an injured list that already includes Lee Morris, Marvin Williams and Marc Bircham.

Rose pulled ligaments in his elbow in the 2-1 defeat at Millwall and is expected to be ruled out, meaning yet another starting line-up change for Slade, who has just signed a new two-year extension to his contract with the Glovers.

Bournemouth are terrible at home, but they've had some decent results away - wins at Doncaster, Crewe and Bristol Rovers, and draws at Forest and Hartlepool. Yeovil's home record isn't the best, just 11pts from 8 home games, and 7 of those points were against Gillingham, Luton and Port Vale, all of whom are in the bottom 5 of the away form section.

Yeovil v Bournemouth (DNB) @ 3.2 3pts

Leyton Orient look good for a home tonight and am also tempted by Tranmere at Hartlepool but bit worried that it may end up a draw what you thinking guys ??
