Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Crawley Town and Lincoln go head to head at the Broadsfield Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting League One game. Crawley are eager to put an end to their six-game losing run, but given their struggles at the back, home win should not be considered. It has to be noted that the Red Robins have conceded 13 goals in total in the previous three games in all competitions. Forward Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Reading, while Jay Williams is back from suspension.
The Imps, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Birmingham City. As Lincoln are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s game as well, we are tempted to bet on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in the League One Lincoln defeated Crawley 3-0. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team.
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.
