Crawley Town form and stats

Crawley Town have played 7 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Crawley, their manager J. Yems and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The home team returns to The People's Pension Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Mansfield Town (placed 19th) on their last time out; the League Two game ended 3-3. 1-1 away at Colchester United before that.

A disappointing finish for Crawley in their match versus Mansfield Town as their 3-1 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 3-3 full time score. A goal frenzy last time out for Crawley Town, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Mansfield Town. Fun stuff to watch! Crawley's goalie Glenn Morris played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Mansfield Town with a stunning seven saves. No victory last time out for Crawley Town, but the draw 3-3 felt nice for Max Watters who came on as a substitute in the 46th minute and scored two goals.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Crawley have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 17 matches with the results: Won eleven, drawn four and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Crawley as they have a new game in only three days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Bradford City are visiting.

The Crawley fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 7 league matches. On the other hand, Crawley have conceded 7 goals.

Barrow form and stats

There's been little loot from Barrow's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the League Two. Barrow only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in Barrow as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

C. Piergianni (own goal) was the last player to score for the away team. Barrow haven't scored a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

Barrow failed to get anything from their last game, a League Two home match vs Salford City (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Morecambe's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Barrow in our archives, and the results are: eight wins for Barrow, three draws and three defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Barrow manager D. Dunn as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Scunthorpe United.

The attacking power of Barrow when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Barrow have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Crawley two wins, two draws and Barrow two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
