Bristol Rovers - Brighton by: Kuki
Respected bookmakers in Great Britain like
Bet365,
William Hill and
Paddy Power already slashed their odds on the hosts (around 2,30 now) but
Stan James or
Expekt still offer 2,75. Rovers only managed 5 home wins all season and this could be arguement enough to stay away here but in their final home game fans could go home happy. Coach Paul Trollope has announced that a striker is top of his summer shopping list because they very often failed to convert their chances. Until yesterday night Brighton still had a chance to reach the play-offs but Leeds registered three desperately needed points and booked the final play-off spot. This is a big blow for the Seagulls and their motivation for their trip to Bristol is more than questionable. Furthermore a stomach bug has hit the squad this week and this could affect coach Dean Wilkins“ plans for the clash. To oppose Brighton here is the call but due to the fact that only professional pride is at stake only 4 units will be invested.
Pick: H, Odds: 2.75, Stake: 4, Bookmaker:
Stan James
