Crawley Town – Grimsby

Match analysis

Crawley Town will host Grimsby in what looks like a daunting test for the bottom‑placed side, who sit 23rd with just four points from six games (one win, one draw and four defeats, 6‑11). Grimsby, perched in sixth place, arrive on the back of an unbeaten run – ten points from six outings, two victories and four draws, and a superior goal difference of +3 (9‑6). The disparity in form suggests the visitors will be the favourites, but Crawley’s home advantage could make the encounter tighter than the table implies. A positive result for the hosts would be a massive boost in a league where every point is hard‑won.
