After back to back defeats in the league, Accrington could use a boost to steady the ship. They are still sitting in the top five though and will want a strong finish before Christmas. Crawley have just continued in their unpredictable ways and have really churned out a mixed bag of stuff recently. Will they have the goals through to threaten Stanley?

Accrington
Crawley Town FCAccrington Form
Accrington have lost their last two games, both 2-0 defeats out at Exeter and then Lincoln, both tough away games. But they will still have been disappointed with those returns. Before that, they were on a great stretch of five unbeaten games and they were rock solid at the back as well. Can they rediscover that form? They are unbeaten in their last four at home in the division now, winning three of those. Two of those wins were 1-0 victories and in the current state of play, it is going to be worth considering that correct score. Accrington are W6 D2 L2 for the season on home soil and have been trailing at half time in just one of their home games. They currently the boast the fourth best offence in the division.
Crawley Form
Crawley have gone W2 D2 L2 in their last six games so it’s hard to know what is going to come from them. Looking at their away form specifically they are winless in their last five out on their travels (D3 L2) so they don’t look too likely to go and collect a win in this one. They have taken just the three away wins all season. They have averaged under a goal per game as well on their travels with just nine in eleven games, but they have collected a clean sheet in 36% of their away games. Overall home and away they have drawn half of their last ten matches so probably are not going to roll over easily.
