Recent respective form guides

Crawley Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Reds have scored 7, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

York City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Minstermen have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Crawley Town find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 47 points from their 39 matches. York City see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 55 points from their 39 games played so far,
