Prediction: 1-1
Cambridge United
Tuesday’s football game at Memorial Stadium pits together Bristol Rovers and Cambridge United, the two bottom-table sides. The Pirates desperately needed a win against Cheltenham Town and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their seven-game winless run. Grant Ward limped off with injury in the last league match, with Brandon Aguilera Zamora likely to step up.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are six points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from the midweek clash. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the visitors, both Elias Kachunga and Macauley Bonne are pushing for a start, while Garry Monk has no fresh injury worries. In the first half of the season Cambridge United defeated Bristol Rovers 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Liam O’Neil):
Born in Cambridge, England on July 31, 1993, Liam O’Neil is an English footballer who plays as both defender as midfielder for Cambridge United in the League Two. O’Neil is a product of the Cambridge United football school, but he played for Histon during his youth career as well.

After scoring two goals in 45 appearances for the club in the league, O’Neil moved to Cambridge United in the winter of 2017. As his mother comes from Wales, O’Neil is open to play for the Wales national team, but he has yet to earn a cap with the Dragons.
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.
