A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League Two
Venue: Broadfield Stadium
Saturday 18th April 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Following back-to-back defeats at the hands of Grimsby Town and Bristol Rovers, Saturday’as hosts, Crawley Town, will be eager to set the record straight when the red Devils play host to Shrewsbury Town at their Broadfield Stadium as Colin Kazim-Richards’ side look to pull away from the relegation zone.
Only one point separates Crawley Town and second from bottom outfit Barrow ahead of this weekend’s action in League Two and Crawley Town will be desperate to rekindle the sort of form which brought the Sussex side recent wins against Gillingham and Newport County.
Just two wins from their last 14 matches overall in the domestic fourth tier suggests this could be another tricky afternoon at the office for Crawley Town while their overall home record stands at 5-8-8 26/28.
Shrewsbury Town sit in 19th place in the League Two table where they hold a commanding 10-point lead over their upcoming hosts which has been helped by picking up two wins in their last three outings.
Recent victories over the likes of Tranmere Rovers and Oldham Athletic have not only eased The Shrews’ relegation worries but has now ensured the visitors’ League Two status for another season, but it should be noted that both of these victories were gained at home.
However, Shrewsbury Town’s results away from home have declined in sharp contrast in recent times under manager Gavin Cowan as the visitors have lost their last three outings on the road on the trot, suffering defeats at Bristol Rovers, Newport County and Bromley respectively.
An away record of 4-3-14 20/41 includes the second-worst defensive record away from home in the division.
The Betting Verdict
Crawley Town have lost just once in their last four meetings at home against Shrewsbury Town.
The Pick :
Crawley Town 1-0 Shrewsbury Town
