Prediction: 1-1
Bristol Rovers
Northampton Town will be looking to make amends for a 4-3 loss to Leyton Orient when they take on Bristol Rovers in the League One round 34. The Cobblers are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run at home, but they face a tough challenge against the Pirates. Tyreece Simpson is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match. Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Stevenage.
The Pirates, though, will be without suspended forward Kamil Conteh in Saturday’s game, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Experienced attacker Scott Sinclair is widely expected to replace Elkan Baggott in the starting XI. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous six meetings between the two sides.
