Prediction: 1-1
Bristol Rovers
Fleetwood and Bristol Rovers go head to head at Highbury Stadium in what is expected to be a close contest. The Cod Army aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Cambridge United, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the fellow mid-table side. Guinea-Bissau midfielder Junior Quitirna is pushing for a rare start after getting his name on the scoresheet in the last league fixture.
The Pirates, meanwhile, did well to beat Charlton thanks to John Marquis’ goal from the penalty spot. The experienced forward is widely expected to return to the starting XI, whereas youngster Jarell Quansah has yet to serve his three-game ban. All Josh Grant, Paul Coutts, and Jordan Rossiter are out of contention with injuries, but regardless of which players will be deployed in the starting XI, the share of spoils is on the horizon as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment.
Highlighted Player (Glenn Whelan):
Probably one of the most underrated footballers in Premier League history, Glenn Whelan was born on 13 January 1982 in Dublin and he went on to enjoy a very successful career on club and international level.
Following spells with Manchester City, Bury and Sheffield Wednesday, the defensive midfielder found his peace at the Britannia Stadium, making over 250 Premier League appearances for Stoke City and keeping his place in the side under both Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes. Predominantly focused on doing the dirty defensive work and helping out the back four, Whelan never quite made the headlines for his style of play or quality of his displays, but remained an important player for both club and country.
The midfielder has so far made over 70 appearances for the Republic of Ireland national team, wearing the captain’s armband on several occasions, and starting all three group games at the Euro 2012 finals, while helping The Green Army qualify for the Euro 2016 as well.
Highlighted Team (Fleetwood):
Known for their attacking style of play, Fleetwood Town are a professional football club based in Fletwood, Lancashire. The Fishermen play their home matches at Highbury Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 5,327 (2,672 seated), with the team wearing red and white shirts in home matches.
On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels. The original club was founded back in 1908 under the name of Fleetwood FC and 69 years later they were re-established as Fleetwood Town F.C. In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
