Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Broadfield Stadium pits together Crawley Town and Huddersfield Town, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2023/2024 League One campaign. Crawley are eager to secure the League One survival and a win over Huddersfield could see them escape the relegation zone. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the match.
The Terriers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Exeter. Huddersfield are eager to move closer to the automatic promotion berth and given Crawley’s shaky defence, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Michael Duff mixed the squad in the FA Cup loss to Tamworth, but he is going to field the best possible side against Crawley Town. Talented forward Callum Marshall is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
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.
