Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
Harry Mail
“Wrexham’s fate is in their own hands as they look to get over the line. The pressure is on Phil Parkinson’s side to get a win in this one.
“The Red Dragons should be too strong for their opponents if they show up and play to their best. They are unbeaten in their last six outings.
“Bristol Rovers are staring down the barrel of relegation to League Two unless they can change their fortunes. They are winless in their last six games.
“The Gas are in for another tough test here and will be low on confidence. I think the hosts will edge it to boost their promotion push.”
Prediction: Wrexham 2-1 Bristol Rovers
James Ray
“It’s getting nervy for Wrexham as they look to hold onto 2nd. For what it’s worth, they have exceeded my expectations this season despite their well-documented spending and their recent form has been impressive.
“However, we’re at the stage of the campaign where even draws can be costly, with Wycombe Wanderers closing the gap after the Red Dragons drew with Wigan.
“The hosts should expect nothing less than a win here though. Bristol Rovers have been on the losing end of close games in recent weeks and I think their relegation fears deepen with another defeat while Wrexham claim a big result in their top-two tilt.”
Prediction: Wrexham 2-0 Bristol Rovers
