Crawley Town
These two sides last came face to face in mid-September when Crawley made the long trip to Blundell Park. Town took a two-goal lead in this game with goals from Holohan and Eisa. However, the visitors struck back with two goals of their own through Kelly and Darcy before a last-minute goal from former Mariner Danilo Orsi meant the West Sussex left BP with three points.
Crawley are currently managed by former Swindon Town boss Scott Lindsay who has been with the Red Devils since the start of 2023. He joined the Sussex side after leaving Swindon and has since guided his Crawley side to the verge of the play-offs.
The Red Devils come into this game having won just one out of their last five outings, picking up two draws in the process to Barrow and relegation threatened Sutton United. In addition, Crawley need at least need a point in tomorrow’s fixture as well as results to go their way to keep their play-off hopes alive.
Lindsay’s side have a mixed home record this season having won ten and lost nine, including three draws out of their 22 league games played at the Broadfield Stadium this season. They’ve picked up most of their points this season whilst on their travels having the fifth best away record in the league this season.
Danilo Orsi is Crawley’s current top goal this season, the former Town man has scored 20 times this season for the side from Sussex. Those goals putting Orsi 8th in the League Two top scorers’ table.
