Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Memorial Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Bristol Rovers and Wycombe Wanderers. The Pirates aim to put an end to their three-game losing run and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. Anyhow, Bristol Rovers will have to improve defensively if they are to pick up all three points from the match. Both McCormick and O’Donkor are pushing for a start after the duo got their names on the scoresheet in a 3-2 loss to Peterborough.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, produced a fine display in the EFL Cup defeat to Aston Villa, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. In their last away game in the League One Wycombe defeated Northampton 2-1. Daniel Udoh continues to miss out with injury, while fellow forward Richard Kone returns to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the midweek defeat.
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.
