Crawley Town form and stats

5 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats. That’s what Crawley Town have to build on here at Broadfield Stadium in the League Two. The Crawley Town manager Etherington might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Crawley drew their last game, 2-2 away at Newport County (placed 18th). Opportunity lost for Crawley Town in the Newport County match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. The attacker Telford was announced as "man of the match" for Crawley with a rating of 7.51/10. Telford scored two goals.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Stevenage.
