Bristol Rovers - Crawley Town

The culmination of the English Championship is approaching and this game is crucial for both teams. Automatic promotion to the Premier League is won in the semi-finals, with the next 4 teams playing against each other until the 3rd (last) team to qualify for the Premier League is determined. Ipswich currently holds 2nd place, but they have 4 teams hot on their heels, including today's opponent. Southampton's guaranteed 6th place is not enough for them, as they are only 1 point away from securing an automatic promotion spot to the Premier League, with only 2 games remaining. So there is definitely something at stake for both teams. Referee Thomas Kirk has an average of 4.35 cards per game this season, but the stakes of this match could potentially significantly raise that average.
