Crawley Town vs Notts County Predictions

When we look back on the story of League Two in 2018/19, the latter stages of how the campaign went will no doubt have a big impact on what direction that story will take. Easter Monday sees a Crawley Town side who are looking to finish the season with a flourish take on a relegation threatened Notts County who are desperate for three points as they seek to secure their survival in the Football League.

Crawley Town will be thankful they have managed to turn their miserable form around prior to the season reaching it’s conclusion. The hosts managed to record an excellent 3-1 win away at Exeter City on Good Friday, to follow on from their 1-0 win away at Yeovil Town, but prior to those results they had gone on a four game losing streak and had conceded 12 times in the process. The Red Devils have already secured their survival and with little left to play for this season, they look like they are enjoying the lack of pressure this has brought.

It has not exactly been the season which Notts County fans would have expected at the start of the campaign as, prior to a ball being picked, they were being highly tipped to go all the way and win the League Two title. However, rather than exiting the division on an upward trajectory, their spot in the Football League is now under severe pressure and with time running out to secure their survival, the hosts know that they can ill afford to drop any points over this Easter weekend.

With the form of the visitors going into this match and the fact that they have lost 13 of their 21 games on the road so far this season, it is hard to make a case for them to come out on top in this clash. When you also factor in the fact that the hosts come into this match following back to back victories, then backing a home win looks like the best chance to earn a decent return.
