Prediction: 2-2
Exeter
Bristol Rovers and Exeter take on each other at Memorial Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two game. The Pirates are on a three-game winning run in the League Two, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Since Bristol Rovers are only three points behind the playoffs places, Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the home side. Aaron Collins, who scored his eighth goal of the season in a 2-0 win over Leyton Orient, should continue to lead the lead the line for the hosts.
The Grecians, on the other hand, have been in a splendid form of late, with the team winning each of their last four league fixtures. Considering that Exeter looked sharp in front of goal in a 4-3 win over Harrogate, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Josh Coley is widely expected to replace Cheick Diabate in the starting XI.
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 (Exeter):
Nicknamed the Grecians, Exeter City are a professional football club that welcome their rivals at St. James Park. The stadium was opened in September 1904, and it can hold up to 8,696 spectators. Exeter City play their homes in white jerseys with red stripes, and black shorts, while violet and yellow are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Grecians made it to the FA Cup quarter-finals on two occasions (1930/31, 1980/81), with the team advancing to the FA Trophy semis in the 2005/06 season. The likes of Harry Gee, Cliff Bastin, Maurice Setters, Dick Pym, Fred Whitlow, Arnold Mitchell, Tony Kellow, Fred Binney, Darran Rowbotham, Lee Sharp, and David Pleat are one of the most notable footballers who played for Exeter City in the past.
Plymouth Argyle, Torquay United, Bristol Rovers, and Yeovil Town are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The Grecians currently compete in the League Two.
