- 54' Supporters expect more eagerness from Anthony Stewart, as he is very good at scoring at Adams Park with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 83' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for George Puscas.
