Crawley Town form and stats

Crawley Town have only played one League Two game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from 23 matches.

Crawley faced defeat in their previous match, away at Forest Green Rovers (3-6). Tyler Frost, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.03 (out of 10). Frost signed up for two assists and hit two key passes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Before that, Crawley had a home game versus Salford City which ended with a victory 2-1.

The manager J. Yems will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Charlton Athletic in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Crawley Town at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Northampton Town failed to get anything from their last game, a Carabao Cup home match vs AFC Wimbledon that ended with defeat 0-1. Jordan Flores got a match rating of 7.21 in that game, top player of the team. Flores hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times. Northampton were so close to getting something from the game against AFC Wimbledon, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.

The game before that, in the League Two, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Rochdale.

Northampton have another fixture that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a EFL Trophy fixture vs Forest Green Rovers. A rough timetable for the visiting team!
