Stats experts predict final Bristol Rovers, Crawley Town and Burton Albion relegation verdict
Bristol Rovers are on the brink of relegation down to League Two
Bristol Rovers are sat in 22nd place in the League One table. They are inside the drop zone along with Shrewsbury Town, Cambridge United and Crawley Town. The Gas have only one more game left to play this season.
Inigo Calderon’s side are three points from safety behind Burton Albion. The Brewers also have a game in-hand on them. The Pirates are winless in their last nine matches and have seen their form slump at the worst possible time.
Bristol Rovers reaction to Reading loss in League One
Bristol Rovers were beaten 2-0 at home by promotion chasing Reading on Saturday afternoon. That result has left the Gas on the brink of relegation to League Two. Lewis Wing and Chem Campbell scored both of the goals for the visitors.
Calderon’s men went into half-time at 0-0. However, they weren’t able to score despite having 16 shots at goal. They were then punished by the Royals and couldn’t get back into it.
Speaking afterwards, their head coach said: “It’s not in our hands. So, we have to wait. So, maybe even today, we have bad news from the other side. I cannot even think now about the next one. It’s been so tough today. So, so tough because in really difficult circumstances, to lift the team up from the last game in a short period and perform the way they did in the first half and don’t get anything from the game, I would say that’s the theme for a lot of games.
"That’s hard to take and hard to explain. The only thing I asked them was to try, and they did try. We did try, and I think we were honest today. I don’t think anyone can complain about us today.”
