English League Two
2023-03-04 - Northampton Town vs Crawley Town
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England : League Two
Venue : Sixfields Stadium
Saturday 4th March 2023, 1500hrs
With just two points separating Saturday’s hosts, Northampton Town, from third-placed Carlisle United and possible automatic promotion, the home side will be eager to assert their authority over lowly Crawley Town who sit second from bottom in League Two and two points adrift of safety ahead of this weekend’s fixtures.
After suffering back to back defeats to Salford City and Stockport County in the early stages of January, The Cobblers have since put together a reasonable looking sequence of results in the English fourth tier as they have lost just once in their subsequent seven league matches overall.
This stubborn run of results include wins against Barrow and Colchester United, both of which were away from home, but although the hosts have also drawn four of these seven games, Northampton have lost just three of their last 13 games at Sixfields Stadium.
Crawley Town find themselves in trouble down near the bottom of the League Two table as the Red Devils are two points adrift of safety with a tough trip to face Northampton Town this Saturday, especially as the visitors have lost their last four league matches on the trot.
Defeats to Stockport County, Leyton Orient, Carlisle United and Tranmere Rovers have further compounded Crawley’s difficulties in recent times, while the bigger picture shows that the Sussex outfit have managed to collect just one win out of their last 11 matches overall in League Two.
Within this poor run of form, Crawley have also slipped to eight defeats in the process and having also failed to win a single game on their travels throughout this fourth tier season to date, it’s difficult to see how Crawley will get anything from this upcoming trip to Sixfields Stadium.
The Betting Verdict
Northampton Town claimed all three points in a lively 3-2 win in the earlier corresponding fixture against Crawley Town and with home advantage behind them this Saturday, The Cobblers look to hold the edge again here as well.
The Pick :
Northampton Town 2-1 Crawley Town
