Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bristol Rovers will try to recover from a 2-0 loss to Fleetwood Town when they take on Burton Albion on Matchday 32. The Pirates want to keep their playoffs hopes alive and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s encounter. Experienced defender Jack Hunt limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Luke Thomas likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Brewers, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Lincoln and given their difficulties in front of goal, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. As for the away side, Jasper Moon suffered an injury in the last League One game, with Mustapha Carayol likely to step up. In the first half of the season Burton Albion rolled over Bristol Rovers 4-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
