Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following three consecutive draws in League One, Crawley Town will be aiming to escape the relegation zone when they face Rotherham United on Saturday afternoon. The Red Devils are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Millers. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Rotherham.
The visitors, on the other hand, have suffered three defeats in the previous four league matches. As Steve Evans’ men failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Barnsley before the international break, we are tempted to put our money on Crawley Town. In their last meeting in the League One Rotherham and Crawley shared the spoils, but home win should be considered this time out. Midfielder Jack Holmes is unlikely to feature for the visitors after picking up a knock in the EFL Trophy win over Bradford City.
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.
