Like everyone else in League One, Burton were hoping to get off to a positive start last weekend, but Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side endured the complete opposite, with their 3-0 defeat at Wycombe seeing them move to the bottom of the third-tier. Thankfully, the Brewers tend to fair better on home soil and have beaten Bristol Rovers in four of their last five meetings here. Joey Barton's side also got off to a losing start, although they were minutes away from claiming a draw against fellow newly-promoted side Forest Green Rovers. But the Gas haven't suffered consecutive league defeats since December and should have every reason to believe they'll extend that impressive run here. 0:2
