Wrexham
Bristol Rovers
On April 18, "Racecourse Ground" will host a League 1 England matchday 43 game, where "Wrexham" will face "Bristol Rovers". I propose a bet on goals / cards / winner for this match.
"Wrexham"
Last season, the team managed to rise from League 2. This was by no means their first promotion in recent years, and it was undoubtedly driven by the arrival of new investors in this project. Few believed that Reynolds and McElhenney, Hollywood stars, could seriously focus on the progress of the Welsh in the English football structure. But they continue to surprise.
This newcomer initially declared a desire not to linger at this level. Initially, they were not taken seriously, but the club immediately started winning and has shown consistency: only "Birmingham" has pulled ahead, but they are generally out of competition. With "Wigan," however, they settled for a 0-0 draw in the last round.
"Bristol Rovers"
The club occasionally broke through to the second division of England in the last century. But in recent decades, their ceiling has been League 1, and there have been setbacks, relatively recently, almost down to the Conference, the fifth local level of football. It seemed they managed to return and secure at least in the third - last spring they finished in fifteenth position there.
But now there is an open, full-fledged battle for survival. Moreover, it does not seem that they are ready to win it, on the contrary, it seems like the players are almost capitulating. There have been only defeats for a month now. Including against "Exeter" in the last round.
Match facts
- "Wrexham" has won six of their last nine matches
- 40% of "Wrexham's" matches end with goals from both teams and the average total goals per match is 2.17
- "Bristol Rovers" have lost six times in a row
H2H
In December, the clubs played exactly ten years after their previous meeting. And once again it was a draw, this time 1-1.
Wrexham vs Bristol Rovers prediction
Bookmakers do not expect intrigue. The division leader at home should indeed beat the outsider with a handicap of "-1 goal" (odds - 1.66).
