Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crawley Town welcome Crewe Alexandra to their People’s Pension Stadium in the League Two round 14. The Red Devils aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Doncaster and Wrexham and the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Ben Gladwin limped off with injury in the last league match, with Klaidi Lolos likely to step up.
Crewe Alexandra, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Tranmere, but given their ups and downs on the travels, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. With no fresh injury worries to report, Lee Bell is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Super Whites at the weekend. Keep in mind, though, that Crawley Town have not defeated Crewe Alexandra in the English fourth tier since November 2018.
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.
