Draw

This should be a tough all-around battle when we consider all the aspects of Crawley vs Bradford's prediction. The home team needs to win so they could build some distance in front of teams that are their main contenders against relegation, and Bradford is looking to possibly advance directly to League One as they are currently only four points away from a top-three position in the standings. The guest team recently went through a streak of four draw matches in a row, while for the season they are one of the teams with the most split games this term at 13. Crawley has played out ten draw games. Their first meeting this season ended with either team taking a point.

Under 2.5 Goals

Bradford had three of those matches out of their final five before they visit Crawley, and they had 23 total ‘under' games this season.
