Crawley Town vs. Stoke City Preview & Tips
The last remaining League Two side in the 2012 FA Cup will launch their bid to stay alive in the tournament when they host Stoke City at the Broadfield Stadium on Sunday.
Crawley Town vs. Stoke City Trends Analysis
Sunday will mark the first ever meeting between Crawley Town and Stoke City. The former have never come within range of the top flights of English football, although this is their second impressive FA Cup run, having lost to Man United in the FA Cup 5th Round in 2010.
Crawley Town are doing well in their first season in the Football League, and are currently in 5th place on the League Table. The side have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches – with their loss coming in the form of a 3-0 defeat to Swindon Town last weekend.
Crawley have scored 6 goals in their last five matches. Their defence has let in as many, although their heavy defeat to Swindon hides the fact that the club has maintained 2 clean sheets in five games.
Stoke City are on a poor run of form, with four consecutive defeats following on their FA Cup 4th Round win over Derby County. This serious of results have left Stoke on the brink of elimination from the Europa League, and have seen them slip down to 13th place in the Premier League.
Stoke’s problems are easy to identify – with only 3 goals scored in five games. With the side struggling to score goals, the 6 goals conceded by the defence have been enough to lose Stoke the majority of their recent matches.
Crawley Town vs. Stoke City Betting Tips
Crawley will believe they have a shot at this match. The club came within a header off a crossbar of drawing with Man United in 2010, and will be hosting this match at their small home ground. Stoke are in poor form, and have taken a dent to their confidence over recent weeks.
Stoke is the more likely to edge this match, but there’s a chance of a draw, and even a Crawley win. We’re going to back the big-hearted 4th division side, and our Crawley Town vs. Stoke City betting tip is to take a low liability lay bet against Stoke City at Betfair.
