Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bristol Rovers
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 1-1
Port Vale
Bristol Rovers and Port Vale will lock horns at Memorial Stadium on day 11 of the new League One campaign. The Pirates aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Peterborough and you should bear in mind that they rolled over Wigan Athletic 4-1 in their last home match. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Port Vale.
The Valiants, meanwhile, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, but seeing that Bristol Rovers are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Alex Iacovitti limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Bolton at the weekend, with Lewis Cass likely to step up. Despite failing to find the net in the last league match, James Wilson should continue lead the line for Port Vale.
Highlighted Player (Funso Ojo ):
Funso Ojo is a Belgium international who plays for Aberdeen as a midfielder. Ojo was born in Antwerp on August 28, 1991, starting his youth career at Olse Merksem. In 2004 he was spotted by PSV scouts, moving to Eindhoven very soon.
Funso Ojo made 11 appearances for PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie before moving to Beerschot AC, yet another club from his youth career. The Belgium international played for the likes of Royal Antwerp, Dordrecht, Willem II, and Scunthorpe United before signing a deal with Aberdeen in 2019. Funso Ojo made his Scotland Premiership debut in a 3-2 win over Hearts.
Speaking of his international career, Ojo has one cap with the Belgium U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Belgium senior team. His primary position is central midfield, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a defensive midfielder. As his parents are of Nigeria descent, the Aberdeen footballer has a dual citizenship.
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.
