Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wrexham will look to keep their 100% record at home intact when they take on Crawley Town in the League One round 7. The league leaders suffered a 3-1 loss to Birmingham City at the weekend, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat the Red Devils at their Racecourse Ground. Anthony Forde and George Evans are both out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Crawley Town, meanwhile, are on a four-game winless run in all competitions and given Wrexham’s excellent home record at the start of the season, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Saturday’s clash. Junior Quitirna is pushing for a start for the visiting team after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Stockport County. In their last meeting at the venue Wrexham outplayed Crawley 4-1.
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.
