Crawley Town vs Cheltenham Town Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

With neither side yet to cement their place in the Football League for next season we are backing both teams to score at 8/11 with bet365 when Crawley host Cheltenham this bank holiday weekend. For our correct score tip we think it will be Cheltenham who are able to take a major stride towards safety on Friday and we are backing them to claim a 2-1 win at 17/2 with the same site.

The head to head record makes for some interesting reading as in each of the four meetings between these sides both teams have managed to find the back of the net. This fixture is one that has traditionally seen plenty of goals scored and it averages a massive four goals per game.

Crawley go into this match knowing that another three points will almost certainly keep them in League Two next season. The Red Devils have only failed to score in 20% of their home matches and the fact that they concede an average of 1.25 goals per game at home goes a large way to explaining why half of the matches at the Broadfield Stadium have finished with both teams scoring.

Cheltenham may only have eight points from their previous eight games but they have stopped the rot of late and have a win and a draw from their previous two matches. Like their hosts, the Robins are also often involved in matches where both teams score and 60% of their away matches have finished with both teams finding the back of the net.
