This is shaping out to be an engrossing game as Crawley Town have their expected home advantage, while Forest Green Rovers lead them by 26 points in the League Two standings.
- Crawley Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Forest Green Rovers have the most scored goals (61) in League Two
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
