There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the League Two table so far. Here's the Crawley Town - Port Vale latest:
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Crawley Town form and stats
Crawley Town have played 10 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-4 (wins-draws-losses).
Crawley Town are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 226 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by B. Lubala).
Crawley Town manager J. Yems and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Stevenage (placed 23rd) in the League Two. Ahead of that match, Crawley Town lost 1-2 at home to Fleetwood Town.
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 ten games. Crawley Town has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.
Crawley Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. Crawley Town have conceded 14 in these home matches.
Port Vale form and stats
There's been little loot from Port Vale's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the League Two. Port Vale only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.
The manager J. Askey was unhappy after their last game, a League Two match played at their home ground Vale Park. Port Vale suffered a 0-1 loss to Walsall (placed 17th). Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Mansfield Town.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Port Vale playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 6 Port Vale wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
Port Vale have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Port Vale have conceded 18 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 3 - 1 - 6 (Crawley Town wins - draws - Port Vale wins). As for goals, 8 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
