Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Bristol Rovers at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 12 of the 51 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was less than a year ago, in October 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
