Prediction: 3-1
Southend
Crawley Town will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Scunthorpe and Oldham when they welcome Southend United at the People’s Pension Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Reds aim to keep on climbing the League Two standings, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Southend United. The Seasiders, on the other hand, continue where they left last term, with the team struggling in the English second tier as well.
Southend United have been struggling at the back at the start of the season, and they are unlikely to spoil Crawley’s party at the People’s Pension Stadium. The attacking partnership of Nadesan and Nichols has been in a perfect working order of late, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home team. The two teams in the League Two for the first time since 2012 when they played out a goalless draw.
