Prediction: 1-2
Peterborough
Peterborough will look to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive when they face Bristol Rovers at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Posh quickly bounced back from a 5-0 loss to Oxford United, with the team outplaying Fleetwood 4-1 in their last league match. Jonson Clarke-Harris is pushing for a start after scoring a brace in the triumph over the Cod Army, while Ricky-Jade Jones should miss out with injury.
The Pirates, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Cheltenham Town and Cambridge United, but seeing that they have nothing to play for in the season finale, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Peterborough, both Kamil Konteh and Harry Vaughan are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Jonson Clarke Harris):
The Leicester born striker started his career at Coventry City, joining their youth academy at the age of 15. Harris, who holds both the English and Jamaican citizenship, chose to represent the former but is yet to feature for any of England's international levels. He made his first professional debut on the 10th of August 2010, in a 2-0 League Cup loss to Morecambe, a feature that made him the youngest player to ever appear for Coventry.
After successive loan moves where he made little impact, Harris left the Sky Blues to join Oldham Athletic in May 2013 on a year-long contract. His excellence earned him the Young Player of the Season award and a high profile move to Rotherham United at the end of the season in a deal worth 350,000 euros. After several inconsistent performances, Harris left the Millers.
He then went on to play for MK Dons and Doncaster on loan before re-joining Coventry for a second spell where-in he helped the club in promoting to League One. Born on the 21st of July 1994, the 25-year-old is known for his physicality and hold-up play and currently plies his trade for Bristol, whom he joined at the start of 2019.
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.
