York City vs Bristol Rovers betting tips and predictions

York City were put out of their misery last week after a dismal performance away to Accrington Stanley confirmed their relegation out of the Football League. Unpopular manager Jackie McNamara boasts a win ratio of just 16.7% since joining the Minstermen. With anger greeting the final whistle last week, McNamara and his team may have to face a hostile crowd which will be boosted by a large travelling support.

Bristol Rovers are just a point outside the automatic promotion places and boss Darrell Clarke knows that getting the three points against York is vital if they are to avoid having to fight through the playoffs. With many of the teams in contention having similar goal differences Clarke should be impressing on his charges that winning by a large margin against one of the worst defences in the league is vital to their chances. Rovers are undefeated in the last five and have the top scorer in the league Matty Taylor in their ranks.

York’s season is over after having relegation confirmed last week but Bristol still have everything to fight for. This game can only go one way and it is surely just simply a matter of how many they rack up. Betfair have Taylor to score and Bristol Rovers to win at a massive 11/4 which seems as much of a sure thing as you can get in football.
