Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After shocking Charlton in London, Crawley Town will look to keep on climbing the standings when they take on Stevenage on Saturday afternoon. The Red Devils are eyeing their third consecutive win in the League One and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Stevenage. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Rob Elliot is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Red Robins on Tuesday evening.
The Boro, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Northampton Town. As Stevenage have already suffered four defeats on the road this term, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form hosts. In their last meeting in the English third tier Stevenage defeated Crawley 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Midfielder Nick Freeman is pushing for a start for the visiting team.
