Crawley Town and Stockport County go head to head at the Broadfield Stadium in the closing match of the League Two round 39. The Red Devils aim to build on back-to-back wins over Harrogate and Notts County and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Stockport. Fit-again defender Laurence Maguire is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Hatters, on the other hand, came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Salford City on Thursday evening. Stockport are determined to stay in the automatic promotion berth, but beating the in-form Red Devils on the road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Ethan Bristow suffered an injury in the midweek draw, with Ibou Touray likely to replace him in the starting XI.
