Bristol Rovers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 38 points and a 24th position in the League One table. Visiting Crewe Alexandra holds 14th place with 60 pts.

Insights:
  • Bristol Rovers have the fewest scored goals in the second half (16) in League One
  • Crewe Alexandra haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League One. That game, against Charlton Athletic, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Crewe Alexandra.

For Bristol relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Alexandra is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
