Crawley Town form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Crawley Town's two home games in the League Two so far this season, having collected 3 points here at The People's Pension Stadium.

Crawley Town's last game was hosting Norwich City and winning 1-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Leyton Orient and winning 3-2.

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 Town have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won 5 Drawn 1 Lost 2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Crawley Town as they are travelling to their away game against Portsmouth in the EFL Trophy. That match is three days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Crawley Town's 2 home games: 3 goals, 2 conceded.

Cheltenham Town form and stats

The League Two season is young and Cheltenham Town have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Cheltenham Town's last game was the home draw against Swindon Town (2-2). A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Carlisle United.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cheltenham Town playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were 3 Cheltenham Town wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Cheltenham Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A EFL Trophy game at Exeter City is waiting in only three days.

Cheltenham Town have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
