Crawley vs Stockport prediction 18.03.2024

• Competition: League Two 
• Date: Monday, 18th March 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: The Broadfield Stadium (Crawley)

Over the recent seasons, Crawley have consistently held a mid-table position in League Two. However, this season could see them advancing, as they are just two points shy of the playoff zone, with two less games played. Crawley's recent performance is commendable, having won five out of the last six matches. In their latest game, they clinched a 2-1 victory at home against Notts Co. This was yet another exceptional performance from Scott Lindsey’s team, as they took more than double the number of shots on goal compared to their opponent, which unsurprisingly led to another win for Crawley.

Stockport also has aspirations for promotion. They are merely two points shy of the league leader, Mansfield, even though they’ve played one game less. However, Stockport’s recent performance has been lackluster, with only one victory in their last six matches. In their previous encounter, they had a 2-2 draw against Salford on their turf. While the guests had an expected goal (xG) of 1.11 compared to the home side’s 0.28, Salford still managed to evade defeat.

Crawley vs Stockport pick: Crawley to win or draw 

Crawley has been in excellent form in the recent weeks, with five wins out of six matches and a goal difference of 8:3. Conversely, Stockport’s performance in their last six rounds has been less impressive with a 1-3-2 record and a goal difference of 4:9.

We should anticipate that Crawley will maintain their good performance and steer clear of defeat against Stockport on Monday night.
