Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bristol Rovers
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-0
Charlton
Following a 2-1 win over Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers will look to keep their playoffs hopes alive when they take on Charlton on Matchday 25. The Pirates quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Blackpool, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they are surely capable of matching the Red Robins in front of home fans. Barring any fresh injury concerns, Matt Taylor is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Pompey on Boxing Day.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. As Charlton generally struggle on the travels, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Friday’s showdown. The likes of Terry Taylor, Harry Isted, and Chuks Aneke should miss out with injuries for the visiting side. You should know that Bristol Rovers are eyeing their fourth consecutive win over Charlton in all competitions.
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.
