Stat Attack
- Wrexham have lost one of their last five league meetings against Crawley (W3, D1, L1).
- Crawley have won one of their last four league visits to Wrexham (W1, D1, L2).
- Wrexham beat Crawley in each of their two previous EFL meetings, which came in League Two last season (W2).
- Oliver Palmer has produced two goals and one assist in three home matches for Wrexham this season (W3).
- Both of Crawley’s two away matches in the league so far this season ended in a 1-0 result (W1, L1).
Prediction
Having seen their unbeaten start ended at Birmingham who were the more aggressive and clinical attacking team, Wrexham need to tighten up defensively but not lose any of their intensity and quality which has seen them sit top early on.
Crawley have hit a slight rut with one point in their last three league matches but did well to dig in to fight back for a draw against Stockport, of which I can see being the case again here from a defensive perspective.
I however don’t see them getting a draw because Wrexham should just have too much quality for Crawley to handle.
Prediction: Wrexham 2-0 Crawley
Result: Wrexham 2-1 Crawley
