Prediction: 0-2
Leyton Orient
After failing to win the previous six league matches, Bristol Rovers will look to return to winning ways in League One when they face Leyton Orient at Memorial Stadium. The Pirates suffered a dip in form, but Wednesday’s clash could turn their fortunes around in the English third tier. It has to be noted, though, that midfielder Jamie Lindsay serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in a 3-0 loss to Stevenage.
The O’s, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the League One. Leyton have been scoring goals for fun of late and we predict that they will take advantage of Bristol Rovers’ shaky defence. Bearing any fresh injury concerns, Richie Wellens is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Cambridge United 2-0 in the last game of 2024. In their last meeting in the League One, Leyton Orient outplayed Bristol Rovers 3-0.
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.
