Northampton vs Crawley Town Predictions

• The hosts have won 70% of their home league games this campaign.
• Crawley Town have witnessed just one draw on their travels this season.
• The visitors are without a clean sheet in any of their previous five games.

Northampton looking to gain ground on the league leaders

The hosts are sitting pretty in second place and will be feeling confident that they can add another three points to their tally as they look to chase down table-toppers Forest Green Rovers. They’re currently eight points behind Rovers but a win here could help in pulling away from the sides below them as they have a game in hand. Northampton’s home form has been excellent, winning seven of their 10 home games and losing just twice.

Visitors Crawley Town are sat in 14th place coming into this one. They’ve won their last two matches in the league and if they can avoid defeat here, it would mean they’ve tasted defeat just once in their last seven games – ideal form when you’re goal is to move up the table and challenge for a playoff spot. However, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last five games and they’ll need to tighten up to stop this Northampton outfit from scoring.

Hosts to pick up all three points

The hosts have an opportunity to add another three points to their tally and their home form speaks for itself. We think the Crawley gift up far too many chances and do so on a regular basis. Because of this, we think the hosts will clinch the victory here.
