Prediction: 2-1
Bristol Rovers
Oxford United and Bristol Rovers square off against each other at Kassam Stadium in the opening match of the League One round 12. The Yellows are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Greg Leigh, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Pirates, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 3-0 win over Port Vale, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the in-form hosts. As Oxford United have been scoring goals for fun in recent weeks, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. As for the away side, Jamaica forward Jevani Brown is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.

Born in Coalville, England on March 16, 1997 Elliott Moore is an English footballer who plays for Oxford United as a centre-back. Moore has one cap with the England U18 team, while making two appearances for the England U20 team.

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.
