Crawley Town form and stats

Crawley Town have collected 19 points from their League Two home games so far after 6-1-6.

No payout for Crawley Town in their previous match, an away game at Gillingham that ended in defeat 0-1. Addai had a busy but productive day in the Gillingham match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Salford City in a game that was won 3-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Crawley Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Crawley Town as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Crawley Town has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

There will be little rest for Crawley after this match as they are travelling to Stockport County for a League Two game in only three days.

Crawley Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 games. Crawley Town's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. Crawley has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

A loss against Grimsby Town was the result prior to that, in a home game.
