1st Prediction For Crawley Town vs Bristol Rovers: Bristol Rovers to win 23/10
Perhaps due to to their poor form away from home, Bristol Rovers are firmly considered the underdogs heading into Saturday’s game. But, they have 12 points more than Crawley Town this season and are in much better form than the home side meaning predicting the away side to win could be fruitful. Despite losing to Rotherham United and Lincoln City, the Gas have picked up two impressive wins against playoff-chasing Bolton Wanderers Huddersfield Town in their last five games. A draw against Shrewsbury Town in the fifth of those games means that Inigo Calderon’s men have picked up seven points in that period, putting them 13th in the form guide. Crawley Town, on the other hand, sit rock bottom in the form table as Louis Storey’s men have not picked up a win since early February. This poor recent form will mean that the Red Devils are low on confidence heading into Saturday’s game.
2nd Prediction For Crawley Town vs Bristol Rovers: Both teams to score: yes 61/100
Those who are doubtful of Bristol Rovers’ ability to win on the road and are looking for a safer prediction should consider predicting both teams to score due to the poor defences on show on Saturday. Crawley Town have by far the worst defence in League One. They have conceded a whopping 71 goals in their 37 league games, an average of 1.9 goals per game, and they have also conceded the second highest xG of any team in the third division. In their last five games, they have conceded a staggering 13 goals and they have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 11 matches. The only side to concede more xG than them this campaign are Bristol Rovers, who have conceded 60 times in their 37 games. The Gas have also had four players sent off this season, the joint second most in League One.
3rd Prediction For Crawley Town vs Bristol Rovers: Kamari Doyle to score at any time 13/5
The in-form attacker heading into Saturday is Crawley Town’s Kamari Doyle. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder has six goal involvements in his last nine games so predicting him to score on Saturday could prove to be fruitful. The youngster spent the first half of the season on loan at Exeter City where, despite being in and out of the team, he was able to score three goals in the league. He was recalled by parent club Southampton in January and sent to Crawley Town until the end of the season, where the regular minutes and faith that Rob Elliot has shown in him has allowed the former England Under-18 international to flourish. Doyle is the Red Devils’ second-highest scorer and he will be hoping to continue his good run of form until the end of the season in order to reach double figures for goals.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Crawley Town head into Saturday’s game knowing that they will need a miraculous upturn in form in order to survive. The Red Devils have accumulated just 30 points from their 37 League One games and currently sit a whopping 12 points off safety despite only being third from bottom. They have not won in their last eight games, not kept a clean sheet in 11 games and scored just three times in their last five games. Louis Storey will know that his men three points on Saturday against the team that they are chasing.
Despite only sitting two places above their hosts in the league table, Bristol Rovers are in a much more comfortable situation than Crawley Town. Inigo Calderon has done a splendid job since his appointment midway through the campaign as the Gas have picked up 20 points in his 18 games in charge. Their recent form has been particularly good as they have picked up seven points in their last five games despite a potentially tricky run of fixtures. Calderon will be hoping that his side will push home their advantage when taking on an out of form Crawley side in order to increase the six-point margin to the drop zone which they currently have.
The game between the two sides earlier in the season finished as a goalless draw, though Bristol Rovers created much more xG than their opponents. However, the Gas have appointed a new manager since then which could see the game take a very different form.
