Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bristol Rovers
Match Time & Date:
29/03/2025
16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Mansfield
Following back-to-back losses to Lincoln (0-5) and Crawley Town (0-1), Bristol Rovers will look to get back on course when they face Mansfield Town on Matchday 39. The Pirates have suffered a dip in form, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home team. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Gatlin O’Donkor and Shaqai Forde should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Yellows, on the other hand, did well to beat Barnsley 2-1 before the international break, but defeating Bristol Rovers at Memorial Stadium is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils in Saturday’s showdown. Forward George Maris is rated doubtful for the visiting side and the 29-year-old will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
