Bristol Rovers form and stats

Only two League Two home games for Bristol Rovers so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The Bristol supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Cheltenham Town in EFL Trophy and win 2-0.

Before that, Bristol played out a League Two draw 1-1 when visiting Barrow.

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 Bristol 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 one and lost three.

Bristol Rovers has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Crawley Town form and stats

It's not happening yet for Crawley Town on their League Two travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Crawley Town has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Crawley are travelling again after losing away to Charlton Athletic in their previous match (1-6). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Charlton Athletic was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A draw for Crawley before that, at their own venue hosting Northampton Town (0-0).

We have checked recent matches where Crawley have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 17 games were four victories, six draws and seven defeats.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Crawley Town has managed 3 goals and let in 7 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the prior nine meetings involving these two sides are: four wins for Bristol, three draws and two wins for Crawley Town. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
