Prediction: 3-1
Carlisle
Bristol Rovers will look to recover from a 3-1 loss to Northampton Town when they take on Carlisle United on Matchday 35. The Pirates have been struggling in home game of late, with the team losing four of their last five matches at Memorial Stadium, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Both Baggott and Vaughan are pushing for a start, with duo Crama – Vale likely to drop to the bench.
The Cumbrians, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only 20 points in total in the process. Given Carlisle’s dreadful losing run in the English third tier, home win should definitely be considered. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team. In the first half of the season Bristol Rovers defeated Carlisle United 1-0 thanks to Sam Lavelle’s own goal.
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.
