Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Burnley & Crawley Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Burnley nor Crawley Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Burnley form and stats
Burnley have reached this Carabao Cup stage through battling and winning against Shrewsbury Town. Burnley was eliminated in the round of 16 last season in the Carabao Cup.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Turf Moor as Burnley have scored 20 goals to get 22 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Championship are 6-4-0 (wins-draws-losses).
The followers are hoping that Burnley will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-5 away loss in the match against Sheffield United. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Murić had a busy but productive day in the Sheffield United match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Benson was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.14 (out of ten) in that game. Benson scored two goals and hit one key pass.
Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Rotherham United.Burnley has scored {20 goals} so far and conceded {10 goals} from 10 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Crawley Town form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Fulham and Bristol Rovers in order to reach 3rd round of Carabao Cup. They also participated in Carabao Cup last season. This ended in the 1st round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Crawley Town so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 0-5-4 (win-draw-lose).
This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, a FA Cup home defeat versus Accrington Stanley with 1-4 on the scoreboard.
Before that, Crawley travelled to Bradford City and returned home with a draw after the League Two game finished 1-1.A new game in only four days for Crawley Town, the League Two home match versus Barrow. Busy days.
The attacking power of Crawley when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Crawley Town's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
