Our forecast for this FA Cup game:

Crewe

Crewe

Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers

Sparkles will be flying when Crewe Alexandra and Bristol Rovers face each other at Alexandra Stadium in round 2 of the FA Cup. Following three consecutive league wins, the Railwaymen shared the spoils with Sutton in midweek to stay in the playoffs berth. Crewe are enjoying a very successful first half of the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure the League One promotion. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.

The Pirates, on the other hand, head into the FA Cup clash following a 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient. Bristol Rovers are eager to put an end to their four-game losing run in meetings with Crewe, but beating the in-form League Two side at Alexandra Stadium is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Experienced Northern Ireland forward John Marquis is widely expected to return to Bristol Rovers’ starting XI.

The game will take place on 02/12/2023 at 4:00 PM.

Prediction:
1-1

Team in focus (Bristol Rovers):

Bristol Rovers

Founded on August 1, 1883, Bristol Rovers is a longstanding team in League One. The club was created during a gathering at Eastville Restaurant and initially called Black Arabs, inspired by the Arabs rugby team.

However, this name was only used for one season before the club rebranded as Eastville Rovers in 1884. Five years later, the club was officially renamed Bristol Rovers. They are known as the Pirates and play their home games at Memorial Stadium Horfield, which can hold 12,296 people. The team is recognized for their blue and white home jersey, but they wear yellow when playing away games.

Ricky Lambert, formerly of Southampton and Liverpool in the Premier League, is considered a standout player for the club. It should be mentioned that Lambert recorded 51 goals in 128 matches for the Pirates in the league.
