The story so far in the League Two for Crawley Town at their home stadium (Broadfield Stadium) is 5 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats.

Crawley Town travelled for their previous game, a trip to Newport County that ended 2-2. Opportunity lost for Crawley Town in the Newport County match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
