Bristol Rovers face a key League Two test at home to Barnet this Saturday, needing to reverse a slide that has seen them lose four of their last five games. The Gas, currently fifth with 15 points from nine matches, are just one point off the top but have lost their last two league outings.
Their most recent result was a 4-1 defeat away to Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Trophy last Tuesday. Ellis Harrison scored a late consolation for Rovers in that match. Before that, they fell to a 3-1 loss at Crewe Alexandra.
Opposition analysis
Barnet arrive at the Memorial Stadium in second place and are unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions. Their last outing was a goalless draw at AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Trophy. Their starting lineup from that game featured Anthony Haralambous in goal and a midfield anchored by Nnamdi Ofoborh.
Recent form and context
Bristol Rovers' form reads one win in five, with the sole victory a 1-0 home success against Exeter City last month. The club's top scorer this season is Ellis Harrison with 11 goals.
The match kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday at the Memorial Stadium. A win for Bristol Rovers would see them leapfrog their visitors and close in on the league leaders.
