Prediction: 1-1
Charlton
Both Bristol Rovers and Charlton Athletic will be eager to bounce back when they square off against each other at the Memorial Stadium. The Pirates are desperate to put an end to their four-game losing run, but they face an uphill battle with Chris Martin and Joel Senior sidelined with injuries, and Micah Anthony a major doubt. Joey Barton’s side has struggled defensively in recent weeks and they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet in the midweek clash.
Charlton Athletic are also seeking redemption following back-to-back losses to Stevenage and Bristol City. The return of Alex Mitchell will boost their defensive options, but they’ll need to wait on a fitness test for Gassan Ahadme ahead of kick-off. With both sides struggling for form, it’s likely to be an open and interesting contest. Given the shaky defences on both ends, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.
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.
