Prediction: 1-1
Northampton
After sharing the spoils with Stevenage in midweek, Bristol Rovers will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Northampton Town on Saturday afternoon. The Pirates do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team obviously struggling at the back and that is the main reason why home win should not be considered. Both Friend and Vale are pushing for a start after the duo came from the bench in the last league match.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and seeing that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Kieron Bowie is banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Bristol Rovers):
Established back on August 1, 1883, Bristol Rovers are one of the oldest clubs in the League One. Bristol Rovers were formed after a meeting at the Eastville Restaurant under the name of Black Arabs after the Arabs rugby team.
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. Bristol Rovers are well known for their blue and white home kit, but they are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels.
Ricky Lambert, who used to play for the likes of Southampton and Liverpool in the Premier League, is regarded as one of the club’s most notable footballers. It has to be noted that Lambert scored 51 goals in 128 appearances for the Pirates in the league.
