Prediction: 1-0
Bristol Rovers
Tuesday’s football match at Crown Ground pits together Accrington Town and Bristol Rovers, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the remainder of the season. Accrington are eyeing a place in the playoffs, while Bristol Rovers’ main goal is to secure the League One survival. Northern Ireland attacker Dion Charles has found his goalscoring touch of late, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay.
Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, do not seem to be at the top of their game at the moment, with the team losing four of their last five league fixtures. Since the Pirates are low on confidence ahead of the midweek game, we believe that punters can find value in betting on Accrington. Midfielder Abumere Ogogo, who suffered an injury in the 2-1 loss to Bristol Rovers, is unlikely to feature against Accrington Town.
Highlighted Player (Stephen Sama):
Born in Bamenda, Cameroon on March 5, 1993, Stephen Sama is a towering defender who plays for Accrington Stanley in the League One. After moving to Germany, Sama received German citizenship in 2009, and, as a result, he represented the European country at youth level.
The Cameroon-born player has 16 caps in total for Germany U17, U18, U19 and U20 teams. Speaking of his club career, Stephen Sama played for the likes of Schwarz-Weiss Eppendorf, Wattenscheid, Bochum, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool before moving to Stuttgart. Sama played for the likes of Greuther Furth, Osnabruck, and Heracles Almelo before signing a deal with League One club Accrington Stanley.
The 188-cm tall defender made his League One debut on September 12, 2020 in a 2-0 win over Peterborough United. His main position is centre-back, but he is used as both right-back and defensive midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
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.
