Reading
Bristol Rovers will look to escape the relegation zone when they take on Reading in their last home game of the regular season. The Pirates do not seem to be at their sharpest, losing four of their last five league matches, but Saturday’s clash could be crucial in their battle for survival. Cyprus forward Ruel Sotiriou is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Stevenage, with Isaac Hutchinson being ready to step up.
The Royals, on the other hand, are desperate to book their spot in the playoffs. Reading are sitting just below top six in the League One standings, meaning that they are eager to grab something from Saturday’s clash. Anyhow, a low-scoring game is on the cards as both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the penultimate round of the season. All Craig, Dean, Dorsett, and Elliott are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
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.
