Crewe Alexandra and Bristol Rovers meet in the league today, with the hosts having just ended their last game in a 1-1 draw, while the visitors come in off a 1-0 win. The two teams therefore arrive in clearly different states. Crewe Alexandra are still unbeaten in the league this season, having drawn 6 of 8 matches, and their recent games have ended 1-1 several times in a row. Their attack is not sharp enough to close games out, but their defence is not easy to break down either. As for Bristol Rovers, they have picked up wins in 5 of 8 matches, but they have also lost 2 of their last five, and they have not drawn at all this season. This team is clearly more stop-start than the hosts. If Bristol Rovers score first, the game could open up into more of an exchange, because the hosts would have to push up after them. But if Crewe Alexandra settle the rhythm first, the game will likely flow in a way where the hosts control the situation and end with the visitors unable to break away.
