With their 12 point advantage in the league table, Crawley Town fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Walsall.
- Walsall have the fewest clean sheets (1) away in League Two
It's no vacation for neither Crawley nor Walsall as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Crawley Town form and stats
9 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Crawley Town have to build on here at The People's Pension Stadium in the League Two. Crawley has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at The People's Pension Stadium. We remember; it was Stevenage.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Crawley, as their goalkeeper Glenn Morris has completely shut out the opponents for 272 minutes in the League Two.
Crawley's last game was hosting Mansfield Town (placed 16th) and winning 1-0. Ahead of that match, Crawley won a home game hosting Salford City (1-0).
Manager J. Yems felt very clever after James Tilley scored the winning goal against Mansfield Town, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 82nd minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when James Tilley scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Crawley as they are travelling to their away game against Barrow in the League Two. That match is four days after this one.
The Crawley fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. Crawley are not conceding a lot of goals here at The People's Pension Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 15 from 17 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Walsall form and stats
3 wins, 9 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Walsall, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) away in League Two, playing as the away team in the League Two this season.
Walsall are looking to quickly end their 282 minutes long goal drought in the League Two.
Walsall's previous game was their home loss versus Barrow (0-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cambridge United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The schedule is very tough for Walsall now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Bolton Wanderers is waiting in only four days.
Walsall find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 15 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Walsall have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
