Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Colchester United, Wrexham will be aiming to return to winning ways in the League Two when they face Crawley Town on Tuesday evening. The Dragons quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Doncaster, with the team retaining second place in the standings, but they should not stop now. Jacob Mendy limped off with injury at the weekend, with James McClean likely to come into the side.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Newport County (4-0) and Mansfield Town (4-1). Crawley Town have been scoring goals for fun of late and given Wrexham’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Barring any fresh injury worries, Scott Lindsey is unlikely to make changes to the team that crushed the Yellows at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Crawley):
Crawley Town are an English football club that compete in the League 2. The club was founded back in 1896 and in the 2011/2012 season they secured promotion to the English fourth tier for the first time. The Devils play their home games at Broadfield Stadium, the venue which was built and opened in 1997.
The stadium has a capacity of 6,144 spectators and is owned by Crawley Borough Council. Crawley Town are well known for their red home kit, with the team wearing white shirts and sky blue shorts when playing on the travels. Crawley Town fans consider AFC Wimbledon the club’s biggest rivals, but they have rivalries with Brighton and Swindon Town as well.
In 1959 the Devils won the Metropolitan League Cup, which is considered one of the club’s biggest successes. Crawley Town won the Sussex Professional Cup in 1970, the Gilbert Rice Floodlight Cup in 1980 and 1984, the Southern Counties Combination Floodlight Cup in 1986, and the Sussex Senior Cup in 1990 and 1991.
