Crawley Town Preview – Will the Red Devils make home advantage count?
Crawley Town look to be heading for another mid-table finish in League Two. Overall, the Reds have picked up 13 wins, drawn nine times and have suffered 15 defeats. They have amassed a respectable 48 points from 37 league fixtures.
Crawley recently went on a run of two draws and three losses from five League Two games. However, they bounced back with a win last time out, with goals from Kwesi Appiah, Tom Nichols and Isaac Hutchinson securing a hard-fought 3-1 home success over Swindon Town.
Despite their struggles of late, Town have not been an easy nut to crack on home soil, losing just one of the last five. Can they pick up all three points in front of their home supporters on Saturday?
Rochdale Preview – Can Dale end poor winless run?
Rochdale head to West Sussex in poor form, failing to win any of their past six league matches. Sine a 1-0 home victory over Northampton Town in late February, Dale have collected a mere three points from a possible 18.
Rochdale’s last victory away from home came against Scunthorpe United in mid-February, which remains their only away triumph since October. Last time out on the road, Robbie Stockdale’s side lost 3-1 at Leyton Orient.
