Prediction: 1-1
Salford
Bristol Rovers aim to extend their positive run when they host Salford City in round 10. The Pirates have been in fine form, winning three of their last four league games and sharing the spoils with Colchester at the weekend. Forward Promise Omochere picked up an injury in that clash, but with Ellis Harrison fit and ready to step in, the home side remain confident in attack. Rovers have shown resilience at the Memorial Stadium, and their record there suggests another stubborn display could be on the cards.
Salford City, meanwhile, travel full of confidence after stringing together a four-game winning run in all competitions. They have looked sharp both in midfield creativity and clinical finishing, but the doubt over experienced defender Michael Rose slightly dents their stability at the back. With Bristol Rovers proving hard to beat at home ground and Salford enjoying a purple patch, a tight encounter is expected. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides will play out a draw at Memorial Stadium.
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.
