Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Morecambe
Match Time & Date:
28/01/2023
09:00 AM
Prediction: 2-0
Bristol Rovers
After failing to spoil Ipswich’s party at Portman Road, Morecambe will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Bristol Rovers in the League One round 29. The Shrimps aim to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Pirates on Saturday afternoon. All Mellon, Simeu, Love, and Crowley are pushing for a spot in the starting XI as boss Kieran McKenna should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the heavy defeat (0-4) in midweek.
Meanwhile, the visitors aim to move closer to the playoffs berth. Morecambe, though, want this win more than Bristol Rovers, and that is the main reason why we are going to put our money on relegation-threatened hosts. There are no fresh selection worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Lancashire.

This name, though, lasted no more than one season as the club was renamed Eastville Rovers in 1884. Five years later the club’s name was officially changes to Bristol Rovers. Nicknamed the Pirates, Bristol Rovers welcome their opponents at Memorial Stadium Horfield, the venue with the capacity of 12,296.
