Prediction: 2-2
Crawley
Broadhall Way will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Stevenage and Crawley Town, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Boro are five points clear of the relegation zone, and, no doubt, they are eager to grab something from the midweek clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Jamie Reid, who scored a brace in the 3-3 draw with Sutton.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, have been in a splendid form of late, with the team beating all Leyton, Colchester, and Northampton, while sharing the spoils with Carlisle United. Crawley Town are six points behind the playoffs berth, but seeing that Stevenage rarely lose points at home ground, we are going to put our money on draw. In their last meeting in the League Two the two sides played out a 3-3 draw.
