How Bristol Rovers' promotion chances have changed as League Two race intensifies

Bristol Rovers left Prenton Park with a feeling of frustration after being held to a 1-1 draw by Tranmere Rovers on Saturday, but Joey Barton's Gas remain firmly in the League Two promotion mix with five games to play.

Their chances of automatic promotion may have taken a hit with Port Vale and Mansfield Town beating Oldham Athletic and Scunthorpe United respectively, but Barton's blues are not out of the race yet and are also well placed to take a spot in the play-offs.

Statistics and analytics experts FiveThirtyEight's predictive model, based on form and estimated squad values, gives the Gas a 57 per cent chance of making the play-offs – unchanged from the previous gameweek – and a 22 per cent chance of promotion – which has fallen eight per cent in the past week.
