Prediction: 1-1
Shrewsbury
Bristol Rovers will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Lincoln and Port Vale when they take on Shrewsbury Town on Monday afternoon. The Pirates do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous four league matches and given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. Grant Ward is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Shrews, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Oxford United. Paul Hurst’s men are only six points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Monday’s clash is of big importance for them. As Shrewsbury have been involved in some low-scoring games of late as well, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. As for the visitors, Jack Price is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Oxford United.
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.
