Crawley Town Prediction
Crawley Town sit in a lowly 18th place on the League Two ladder having registered just two league wins from their last 12 matches overall in the fourth tier thanks to a 1-0 win away at Swindon Town and a 2-1 home win against Grimsby Town, but they’ve found life hard going in the bottom half of the division.
With six defeats and four draws, the Red Devils seem now to be treading water with little danger of being drawn into the relegation battle below them as the hosts hold a comfortable 10-point cushion ahead of second from bottom club, Macclesfield Town, prior to this weekend’s action.
Nevertheless, recent form at home has produced mixed results as Crawley have recorded wins over Cheltenham Town and Grimsby Town but have also fallen to defeats to Port Vale and Oldham Athletic amidst an overall record of 9-4-6 29/24.
To put this into perspective though, the hosts have managed to grab just three wins from their last nine matches on home turf, and they face a tough prospect in the shape of Lincoln City this Saturday.
- Crawley Town have won just 2 of their last 12 matches overall in League Two
- Crawley Town have won just 3 of their last 9 home matches
- Lincoln City are unbeaten in their last 8 matches away from home in League Two
Lincoln City Prediction
Lincoln City extended their unbeaten run in League Two to 15 matches when they earned a point in their local tussle away at 3rd placed Mansfield Town on Monday night, and the visitors remain top of the division with a healthy six-point cushion ahead of 2nd placed Bury and an even healthier looking 10-point lead ahead of 4th placed MK Dons.
Needless to say that Lincoln have also been solid away from home too as The Imps bring an unbeaten eight-match sequence into this encounter having registered wins at Cambridge United, Yeovil Town, Morecambe and Forest Green Rovers amidst an impressive overall record of 10-6-3 33/18 which has seen the visitors grab the most away wins in League Two to date.
In addition, Lincoln City have also kept six clean sheets and have scored in 17 of their 19 away matches and with the likes of goalscoring midfielders Andrade (8 goals) and Anderson (5 goals) along with forwards Akinde (14 goals) and McCartan (5 goals), the visitors look in good shape to further add to their points tally here.
Betting Tips Verdict
Crawley have shown inconsistent form of late while the Lincoln bandwagon keeps rolling. Take Lincoln City here but use the handicap.
