After playing out a goalless draw with Oldham on Tuesday, Bristol Rovers will be aiming to record their first win of the season as they welcome Cambridge United to their Memorial Park on Matchday 5. The Pirates did well to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are now on a quest to return to winning ways in League Two. The hosts are boosted by Joel Senior’s return from suspension, but forward Shaqai Forde continues to miss out with injury.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Colchester United. Cambridge United are more of a team than Bristol Rovers and given their signs of improvement on the travels, we are tempted to bet on Neil Harris’ charges. In their last meeting at the venue (EFL Cup), Cambridge United defeated Bristol Rovers 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to “The Harbour City”.

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.
