Stevenage vs Crawley: Top Free Betting Tips

Stevenage and Crawley were supposed to play this game in November but it got postponed. Back then, we would have had a different opinion about the possible outcome but now, with Crawley's sudden improvement, this fixture promises to be far more interesting than anticipated.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

Stevenage seem different. The team spent most of the season in or near the relegation zone but since the start of 2022, had a win and a draw. In those two recent fixtures, they scored 6 goals which is almost 1/4 of their total goals scored in the previous 24 games this season. In other words, they have improved and we expect them to score in this fixture, which will be their third consecutive at home. Crawley, on the other side, are the third-best team in the league if we consider only the last 5 rounds. They won three and squared two games over the past month. We have no doubts that they will net at least one goal in this fixture.

Match Result – Draw

It is surprising but Stevenage have been placed as the favorite for this game. We, however, do not see this to be exactly on spot and we believe that this match will end in a goal-packed draw. As mentioned above Crawley have been quite good in recent weeks and it is impressive given that they played 4 away games in a month. Two of those matches ended in a 1:1 draw and we expect something similar on Tuesday. Although Stevenage performed well in their last two games, their good results are mostly because of their high efficiency in attack and less because they were dominant. Crawley, at their current form, will be a serious challenge and we do not expect the hosts to win.

Away Team Exact Goals – Crawley 1 Goal

This is a difficult prediction but it is highly possible given that Crawley are very far from the highest-scoring away teams in the league. It is a fact that they scored at least once in all but two away fixtures this season but it is also a fact that they scored more than 1 goal in just 2/12 games. Stevenage's defense is far from impressive but we expect this match to be a 1:1 draw at most. The odds are good and well worth a small to mid-sized bet.
