  • Stevenage has the most matches under the total-line (18) in League Two

Stevenage could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a League Two game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Bolton Wanderers, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Stevenage.

Crawley Town form and stats

Crawley Town have collected 19 points from their League Two home games so far after 5-4-3.

Crawley's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Harrogate Town (placed 16th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Leyton Orient that ended 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Crawley Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost two.

A decent goal production from Crawley in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 12 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Crawley have conceded 14 goals.
