Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Broadfield Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Crawley Town and Shrewsbury Town. The Red Devils are desperate to put an end to their four-game losing run and are likely to fight tooth and nail against Shrewsbury. Joy Mukena has joined Dion Conroy in the recovery room, with defender Charlie Barker likely to step up. The visitors, on the other hand, failed to win the previous six games in all competitions.
As Shrewsbury will go for a victory in the round 11 clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting at the venue. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to West Sussex, but talented midfielder Leo Castledine could sneak into the starting line-up.
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.
