Crawley Town
WDDLLL 📉
Crawley Town will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 4-1 League One loss in their previous game against Lincoln City.
The only name on the scoresheet from Crawley Town was Kamari Doyle (6'). James Collins (14'), Jovon Makama (24'), Dom Jefferies (32') and Joe Gardner (88') scored for Lincoln City.
It has not been often in recent games where Crawley Town have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Crawley Town have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 12 goals during that time. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether that pattern will continue on in this next match.
Coming into this clash, Crawley Town have not won at home in their last 3 league matches.
Reading
DDWDWD 📈
In their previous fixture, Reading drew 0-0 in the League One tie with Exeter City.
A run of effective performances by the Reading defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 outings overall. Over that same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 6.
Going into this one, Reading are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
👥 Head to head
The last league match between the two was League One match day 12 on 19/10/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Reading 4-1 Crawley Town.
The match was refereed by Edward Duckworth.
🗞️ Team News: Crawley Town
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Crawley Town boss Rob Elliot to contend with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Ryan Sandford (Ankle ligament tear) is sidelined.
ℹ️ Team News: Reading
Owing to an otherwise healthy group of players, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Reading boss Noel Hunt to contend with. Ben Elliott (surgery) won’t be in action.
🔮 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Reading have the firepower to put a goal past this Crawley Town side, although it is unlikely to be as many as they’ll concede.
We’re going for a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Crawley Town after 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
