Bristol Rovers new predicted League One finish following dramatic Portsmouth win

What are Bristol Rovers' chances of forcing their way into the League One promotion race after the Boxing Day win against Portsmouth?

There were memorable scenes at the Memorial Stadium on Boxing Day as Bristol Rovers snatched a dramatic late win against League One title favourites Portsmouth.

The two sides looked to be heading for a share of the points after Anthony Evans' opener was cancelled out by an equaliser from Pompey winger Paddy Lane. But Rovers would not be denied and they became only the second side to take maximum points from Portsmouth when Luke Thomas grabbed a winning goal in the fourth minute of second-half injury-time.

The result helped Matt Taylor's side bounce back from Saturday's disappointing defeat at Bolton Wanderers in the best possible fashion and ensured Rovers head into Friday night's home clash with Charlton Athletic in a positive frame of mind.

But what has the remarkable win over Portsmouth done for Rovers' predicted finish in the table? BristolWorld takes a look at where the Gas are sat in the list of odds to take the League One title.
