Prediction: 1-0
Wigan
Bristol Rovers will try to recover from a 2-1 loss to Barnsley when they face Wigan Athletic in the League One round 6. The Pirates aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Cyprus forward Ruel Sotiriou should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in the defeat to Barnsley, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Latics, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Birmingham in their last league match and given their difficulties on the travels, home win seems like a good betting option for Saturday’s showdown. Influential Wigan attacker Joe Hugill is widely expected to return to the starting eleven after getting his name on the scoresheet in the EFL Trophy loss to Morecambe.
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.
