Prediction: 0-2
Bolton
Bristol Rovers play host to Bolton at their Memorial Stadium in the League One round 43. The Pirates failed to win the previous five league matches and given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Bolton.
The Trotters, on the other hand, aim to build on a 5-2 win over Reading. Bolton are eager to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive and given Bristol Rovers’ poor form in the League One, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Wales forward Aaron Collins, who scored a hat-trick in the triumph over the Royals. In their last meeting at the venue Bolton defeated Bristol Rovers 3-2.
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.
