Crawley have been doing alright lately with four wins in their last six games and that has been enough to keep them well clear of any relegation concerns for the season. The same can’t be said of the Bees through who are now on a four-match losing streak and who are stuck at the bottom of the table.

Crawley Town
Barnet FCCrawley Form
The Reds have collected five wins in their last eight league games, which is their best overall form of the season. So that’s been good stuff from them and they carry back to back wins into this game, having taken down Stevenage and Yeovil in their last two games. Their home from stacks up well with a W3 D3 L1 record in their last seven on home soil which is a vast improvement as they won just one of their opening nine home games this term. They have conceded nine goals in their last five games so they still haven’t been the sharpest at the back and they have only netted eleven times at Broadfield Stadium this season in the league. Just 23% of their home games have gone over 2.5 goals this term so look under the goal line for this one.
Barnet Form
The Bees are rock bottom of the pile are they are in heaps of trouble given their current form. They are on a four-match losing slide at the moment and they are W2 L9 in their last eleven league games. Their away form is pretty atrocious this season (W2 D2 L9) and they have lost five of their last six on their travels. They just haven’t been able to keep the ball out of the back of the net and have not earned a clean sheet in any of their last fourteen league games, so they are struggling even against low-scoring sides. They have conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game away from home on league duty this season and they are still looking for their first away sheet of the term.
