Prediction: 2-1
Bristol Rovers
Blackpool will be looking to finish the season in style when they take on Bristol Rovers at their Bloomfield Road on Matchday 46. The Seasiders have already booked their place in the playoffs, and they are now on a quest to clinch third position in the standings. Since a win over Bristol Rovers will see Blackpool meet the goal, we are positive that the hosts will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s football match.
The Pirates, on the other hand, failed to secure the League One survival. The rock-bottom side are on a four-game losing run in the English third tier, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Blackpool’s party at Bloomfield Road. In the previous meeting between the two teams at the venue the Seasiders defeated the Pirates 2-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.

Chris Maxwell is a Welsh goalkeeper who was born in St Asaph on July 30, 1990. Maxwell began his youth career at Penrhyn Bay (1998-2000) and in 2000 he moved to Wrexham.

Chris Maxwell made 110 appearances in the league for the Trawlermen and on May 16, 2016 he signed a three-year deal with Championship side Preston North End. You should know that he managed to keep clean sheets in 38 appearances for the Lilywhites in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign.
Due to his dual citizenship, Maxwell is capable of representing both Wales and Scotland at senior level, but he played for the Dragons at youth level, being capped for the U21 team 16 times.
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.
