Crawley Town form and stats

7-4-4 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Crawley Town so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Checkatrade.com Stadium.

Crawley Town manager J. Yems and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Plymouth Argyle (placed 4th) in the League Two. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Grimsby Town.

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 3 and lost 2.

The Crawley Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 15 matches. 18 goals have been conceded.
