Crawley Town vs Portsmouth Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

With a place in the automatic promotion spots potentially up for grabs for Portsmouth, they have plenty to play for when they travel to Crawley Town this weekend. For our tip we think the best chance of a return is in the goals market, and we are backing over 2.5 goals at 43/40 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that Portsmouth should prove too strong for their hosts and we are backing a 2-1 away win at 15/2 with the same site.

Crawley are in good form at the moment and after four wins in a row on home soil they will be confident of adding three points to their tally this weekend. That home record has been a bit of a feature from them throughout the season and the Red Devils boast the fifth best home record in League Two.

With the season over half way through, Portsmouth are within touching distance of their ultimate aim of promotion from League Two come the end of the campaign. Paul Cook’s side have relied on a strong defensive record to get many of their results, but their offensive record is not to be underestimated. They have scored 40 goals from their 26 league games this season which is the fifth highest return in the division.

The head to head record also makes for some encouraging reading for our tip as four out of the five games have seen three goals scored. The only other time they met finished in a 0-0 draw but as that result came at the start of the season, it can perhaps be written off as both sides were still finding their feet.
