Recent respective form guides

Altrincham's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Robins have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Crawley Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Reds have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Altrincham find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 1 points from their 2 matches. Crawley Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches.
