Crawley Town vs Cheltenham Predictions

Robins in line for more misery

Crawley look the best bet when they host Cheltenham on Saturday. The visitors have lost three times in their last four League Two away games and could be heading for another defeat here.

Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season, but Crawley are three places above Cheltenham in the table. The hosts are 20th with two draws and four defeats from their seven games, while the visitors are 23rd with one win, one draw and five losses.

Crawley have kept four clean sheets in the last five League Two meetings with Cheltenham and lost just one of the last six League Two head-to-heads at home to Saturday’s opponents.

Backing Cheltenham when they have been underdogs this season would have resulted in a 5.00-unit loss, with no wins from their five games as an underdog.

Cheltenham have not won any of their three League Two away games this season and have just one win in their last eight matches.

The visitors are struggling to score. Cheltenham have been beaten and failed to find the net in three of their last four League Two away games.

They have looked vulnerable in defence. Cheltenham are on a run of 11 League Two away days without recording a shutout and have failed to keep a clean sheet in 21 of their last 22 games.

Crawley have beaten Cheltenham by a single goal in four of the last five League Two clashes between the sides, and they may be able to edge out another narrow win here. A 2-1 home victory is the correct-score pick.
