Crawley Town face a trip to Ebbsfleet United at Stonebridge Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 11 games played, Reds have recorded 3 wins, and Ebbsfleet Utd. have come away with 4 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2009, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 4 - 4 draw in a (Conference) Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Ebbsfleet United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While The Fleet have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Crawley Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Reds have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Ebbsfleet Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 8 points from their 14 games thus far. Crawley Town's 21 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
