Bristol Rovers to win again
Crawley Town have been going through a rough patch recently; they have managed just one win in their last nine games, across all competitions. As a matter of fact, Crawley Town lost six of those nine games, including their last three. In comparison, Bristol Rovers have done relatively better than Crawley Town; they have five wins in their last eight matches. Also, Bristol Rovers have had Crawley Town's number in the past; they won the last four clashes between these teams, and have no losses in their last six meetings. With this in mind, we are predicting a win for Bristol Rovers.
Expecting goals
Although Crawley Town are not exactly a high-scoring side, they have conceded a lot of goals recently; Kevin Betsy's men allowed 10 goals in their last four games alone. In the same vein, Bristol Rovers have scored and conceded a lot of goals; they bagged 25 goals in their last eight games, whilst conceding seven times in their last five games. Because of their tendency to score and concede goals, most of Bristol Rovers' matches have been high-scoring; seven of their last eight matches saw at least three goals scored. We should also point out that six of the last eight clashes between Crawley Town and Bristol Rovers went above the 2.5 goal mark; and for this reason, we are predicting a high-scoring affair.
