LP_0903_MAIN_LPE1_001

Crawley Town host Barrow at the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday on the back of three consecutive wins in League Two.

Crawley have picked up 10 points from their last six games, and they face a Bluebirds side who have lost their last three matches, and collected four points from the last possible 18.

In the last 10 years, Crawley and Barrow have played each other on seven occasions. Crawley won four of them and Barrow three.

On average, the Red Devils scored 1.3 goals and the Bluebirds 1.4 in those matches.

Their last meeting was on November 18, when Barrow won 1-0 at home.

Barrow are sixth in the table after 33 games, of which they have won 14 and drawn 11, earning 53 points.

Crawley are three places behind the Bluebirds in ninth, with 15 wins and four draws putting them on 49 points.

With 47 goals in 33 games so far this season, the visitors are scoring at below the league average rate with 1.4 goals per game. But they are conceding fewer than average too, letting in 39 goals at a rate of 1.2 per game.

Town, meanwhile, are average scorers, with 1.5 goals per game. They have also conceded 1.5 goals per game.

With Paul Farman between the sticks, Barrow can rely on one of the league’s safest pair of hands. He has kept 10 clean sheets in his 31 appearances this season in League Two.

In the Red Devils’ net, Corey Addai has six clean sheets in 26 games. He has conceded a goal every 69 minutes, 10% more often than the 78 minutes between goals for Farman.

Crawley’s last match was on February 24, a 1-0 win against Accrington Stanley, with Harry Ransom getting the goal for the Red Devils.

Barrow lost 5-3 against Salford City last time out, on February 17, with Cole Stockton (two) and Tyrell Warren on the scoresheet.
