Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Fleetwood Town will be aiming to keep their survival hopes alive when they take on Bristol Rovers on Tuesday evening. The Cod Army have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to avoid relegation to League Two. Elijah Campbell misses out with injury, while Harrison Holgate is banned for the midweek clash. As a result, duo Shaun Rooney – Harry Boyes should be recalled to the starting eleven.
The Pirates, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for in the season finale. Given the importance of Tuesday’s match for Fleetwood Town, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Lancashire.
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.
