Crawley Town form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at The People's Pension Stadium as Crawley Town have scored 17 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the League Two are 5-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The Crawley supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Barrow in League Two and win 4-2. Before that, Crawley Town played out a draw 3-3 when visiting Mansfield Town.

Bradford City form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bradford City so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Bradford in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Mansfield Town. With the Bradford City losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Bradford are travelling again after losing away to Oldham Athletic in their previous match (1-3). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Carlisle United.
