Sutton United vs Crawley Town Predictions

• Sutton must win to avoid risking a top-seven exit.
• Crawley cannot mathematically be promoted following their latest defeat.
• Only four sides picked up more home points than Sutton’s 44.
• Crawley lost four of their last five away league games.

It’s crunch time for Sutton’s play-off push

With Swindon playing simultaneously, Sutton United know that if they lose and Swindon win, they will be ousted from the final play-off position come the end of play. However, the league’s fifth-strongest home side will believe they have enough in the locker to see off the challenge of Crawley.

A shock 1-0 defeat to giant killers Barrow last time out served as a bump in the road to promotion, though Sutton are much harder to break down on home soil where they are unbeaten since last October!

Since Sutton’s last home defeat, six of their 12 wins within 90 minutes at Gander Green Lane were by a narrow 1-0 scoreline, so a similarly tight game is expected this time around.

Goodnight Crawley Town

A bruising 2-0 defeat at the hands of Mansfield last time out means that Crawley can only achieve as much as 69 points with three wins from their final three games, but that would be one shy of Sutton, who currently occupy the final play-off position.

With the stuffing seemingly knocked out of Crawley, we predict that Sutton will win this game at a great value price as they look to repel the chasing pack in behind, perhaps by yet another slender 1-0 scoreline.
