Prediction: 0-2
Crawley
Stevenage and Crawley face each other at Broadhall Way in the League Two round 23. Stevenage aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Salford City, with the team eyeing their first league win since November 20. The Boro were beaten Carlisle United in their last home fixture, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, did well to beat Leyton Orient in their last league match. Crawley managed to put an end to their three-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. The Red Devils aim to keep on climbing the standings, and given Stevenage’s poor form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team.
