Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Broadfield Stadium pits together Crawley Town and Barrow, the two promotion-chasing teams. The Red Devils are eyeing their fourth consecutive League Two win and you should know that they managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last three league matches. Even though midfielder Liam Kelly suffered an injury in the triumph over Accrington, home win should be considered as Barrow suffered a dip in form.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-3 defeat to Salford City, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the in-form hosts. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Cole Stockton, who has found his goal-scoring touch in recent weeks, while veteran midfielder Sam Foley should be recalled to the starting XI.
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.
