Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bristol Rovers
Match Time & Date:
27 January 2024
15:00
Prediction: 1-2
Oxford United
Out-of-form Bristol Rovers will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in the League One when they take on Oxford United on Matchday 30. The Pirates have been slipping down the standings at the start of 2024, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Defender Connor Taylor sustained an injury in a 1-0 loss to Exeter, with James Connolly likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Barnsley. Oxford United want to move closer to the automatic promotion berth and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Bristol Rovers’ dressing room. Both Joe Bennett and Sam Long limped off with injuries in the last league match, with Oisin Smyth and Greg Leigh likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Elliott Moore):
Born in Coalville, England on March 16, 1997 Elliott Moore is an English footballer who plays for Oxford United as a centre-back. Moore has one cap with the England U18 team, while making two appearances for the England U20 team.
The 196-cm tall defender is a product of Leicester City football school, joining the club at the age of 6, but he did not enjoy a first-team football with the Foxes. He made his first appearances for Leicester City senior team on July 19, 2017 against WBA at the Asia Trophy. After spending a couple of seasons on loan at OH Leuven, Elliott Moore returned to England in the summer of 2019, signing a contract with League One side Oxford United.
Moore made his League One debut against Sunderland on August 3, 2019. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Stadium of Light in the opening match of the season, with Elliott Moore coming from the bench in the dying minutes of the game.
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.
