Lincoln
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-0
Bristol Rovers
Lincoln will be aiming to build on thrilling back-to-back wins over Barnsley (5-1) and Cambridge United (6-0) when they take on Bristol Rovers on Matchday 39. The Imps are determined to book their spot in the playoffs and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against the Pirates. Jovon Makama is likely to replace Ben House in the starting XI as the later limped off with injury in the midweek defeat.
Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with slim playoffs chances. As Lincoln have been scoring goals for fun of late, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Lincolnshire. In their last meting at LNER Stadium Lincoln defeated Bristol Rovers 1-0.
Highlighted Player (Teddy Bishop):
Having joined Ipswich as an eight-year-old, Teddy Bishop rose through the ranks at Portman Road to become one of the key players for the Tractor Boys. Bishop’s road to prominence hit a serious roadblock in his first year of the academy scholarship when he endured a serious back injury, but it was in 2014 that he went from strength to strength – proving his worth at the club and emerging as one of the most promising players in the squad.
The total of 36 appearances in his debut season with the first team were more than enough to make an impression on the fans and the club hierarchy which offered him a new long-term deal.
This deep-lying midfielder in characterized by impressive passing accuracy, vision and great reading of the play. Bishop is an asset defensively as well, but he is most comfortable sitting just above the back line, spraying balls around. As a two-footed midfielder, Teddy Bishop is regularly being watched by a number of Premier League biggest clubs.
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.
